This starts to fix#31832.
ActiveModel::Attributes includes ActiveModel::AttributeMethods,
which requires an `#attributes` method that returns a hash with string keys.
We don't implement much custom marshalling logic for these objects, but
the proc default case needs to be handled separately. Unfortunately
there's no way to just say "do what you would have done but with this
value for one ivar", so we have to manually implement `marshal_load` as
well.
The test case is a little bit funky, but I'd really like an equality
test in there, and there's no easy way to add one now that this is out
of AR (since the `attributes` method isn't here)
Fixes#31216
`BigDecimal.new` has been deprecated in BigDecimal 1.3.3
which will be a default for Ruby 2.5.

This is the first PR of a WIP to bring the attributes API to
ActiveModel. It is not yet ready for public API.
The `attributes_dirty_test.rb` file was created based on `dirty_test.rb`,
and the simplifications in the diff do much to motivate this change.
