This reverts commit 83846838.

I think it's going to be too much pain to try to transition the
:active_record load hook from executing against Base to executing
against Model.

For example, after Model is included in Base, and modules included in
Model will no longer get added to the ancestors of Base.

So plugins which wish to be compatible with both Model and Base should
use the :active_record_model load hook which executes *before* Base gets
loaded.

In general, ActiveRecord::Model is an advanced feature at the moment and
probably most people will continue to inherit from ActiveRecord::Base
for the time being.

This reflects the fact that it now impact inserts as well as updates.

This is similar to #first_or_create, but slightly different and a nicer
API. See the CHANGELOG/docs in the commit.

Fixes #7853

Would incorrectly add duplicated errors when the association was blank. Bug introduced in 1fab518c.

Call super to nullify the reference to the original errors object in the dup'ed object (call ActiveModel::Validations#initialize_dup). Closes #7291

Patches `CollectionAssociation#count` to return 0 without querying
if the parent record is new. Consider the following code:

    class Account
      has_many :dossiers
    end

    class Dossier
      belongs_to :account
    end

    a = Account.new
    a.dossiers.build

    # before patch
    a.dossiers.count
    # SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "dossiers" WHERE "dossiers"."account_id" IS NULL
    # => 0

    # after
    a.dosiers.count # fires without sql query
    # => 0

Fixes #1856.

The counter column name in the intermediate model need to be access
via the through reflection.

When inserting new records, only the fields which have been changed
from the defaults will actually be included in the INSERT statement.
The other fields will be populated by the database.

This is more efficient, and also means that it will be safe to
remove database columns without getting subsequent errors in running
app processes (so long as the code in those processes doesn't
contain any references to the removed column).

This reverts commit 761bc751.

This commit wasn't fixing any issue just using the same table for
different models with different primary keys.

If your database supports setting the isolation level for a transaction,
you can set it like so:

  Post.transaction(isolation: :serializable) do
    # ...
  end

Valid isolation levels are:

* `:read_uncommitted`
* `:read_committed`
* `:repeatable_read`
* `:serializable`

You should consult the documentation for your database to understand the
semantics of these different levels:

* http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/transaction-iso.html
* https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/set-transaction.html

An `ActiveRecord::TransactionIsolationError` will be raised if:

* The adapter does not support setting the isolation level
* You are joining an existing open transaction
* You are creating a nested (savepoint) transaction

The mysql, mysql2 and postgresql adapters support setting the
transaction isolation level. However, support is disabled for mysql
versions below 5, because they are affected by a bug
(http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=39170) which means the isolation level
gets persisted outside the transaction.

Closes #6960

If assigning to a has_many :through collection against an unsaved
object using the collection=[<array_of_items>] syntax, the join models
were not properly created, previously.

Having column related schema dumper code in the AbstractAdapter. The
code remains the same, but by placing it in the AbstractAdapter, we can
then overwrite it with Adapter specific methods that will help with
Adapter specific data types.

The goal of moving this code here is to create a new migration key for
PostgreSQL's array type. Since any datatype can be an array, the goal is
to have ':array => true' as a migration option, turning the datatype
into an array. I've implemented this in postgres_ext, the syntax is
shown here: https://github.com/dockyard/postgres_ext#arrays

Adds array migration support

Adds array_test.rb outlining the test cases for array data type
Adds pg_array_parser to Gemfile for testing
Adds pg_array_parser to postgresql_adapter (unused in this commit)

Adds schema dump support for arrays

Adds postgres array type casting support

Updates changelog, adds note for inet and cidr support, which I forgot to add before

Removing debugger, Adds pg_array_parser to JRuby platform

Removes pg_array_parser requirement, creates ArrayParser module used by
PostgreSQLAdapter

Allows you to specify the model association key in a belongs_to
relationship instead of the foreign key.

The following queries are now equivalent:

Post.where(:author_id => Author.first)
Post.where(:author => Author.first)

PriceEstimate.where(:estimate_of_type => 'Treasure', :estimate_of_id => treasure)
PriceEstimate.where(:estimate_of => treasure)

When calling a query method on an attribute that was not selected by
an ActiveRecord query, an ActiveModel::MissingAttributeError is not
raised. Instead, a nil value is returned, which will return false once
cast to boolean.

This is undesirable, as we should not give the impression that we know
the attribute's boolean value when we haven't loaded the attribute's
(possibly) non-boolean value from the database.

This issue is present on versions going back as far as 2.3, at least.
