Alexey Muranov a94220b66c Rename "Fixtures" class to "FixtureSet"
Rename `ActiveRecord::Fixtures` class to `ActiveRecord::FixtureSet`.  Instances of this class normally hold a collection of fixtures (records) loaded either from a single YAML file, or from a file and a folder with the same name.  This change make the class name singular and makes the class easier to distinguish from the modules like `ActiveRecord::TestFixtures`, which operates on multiple fixture sets, or `DelegatingFixtures`, `::Fixtures`, etc., and from the class `ActiveRecord::Fixture`, which corresponds to a single fixture.

= Action Pack -- From request to response

Action Pack is a framework for handling and responding to web requests. It
provides mechanisms for *routing* (mapping request URLs to actions), defining
*controllers* that implement actions, and generating responses by rendering
*views*, which are templates of various formats. In short, Action Pack
provides the view and controller layers in the MVC paradigm.

It consists of several modules:

* Action Dispatch, which parses information about the web request, handles
  routing as defined by the user, and does advanced processing related to HTTP
  such as MIME-type negotiation, decoding parameters in POST/PUT bodies,
  handling HTTP caching logic, cookies and sessions.

* Action Controller, which provides a base controller class that can be
  subclassed to implement filters and actions to handle requests. The result
  of an action is typically content generated from views.

* Action View, which handles view template lookup and rendering, and provides
  view helpers that assist when building HTML forms, Atom feeds and more.
  Template formats that Action View handles are ERB (embedded Ruby, typically
  used to inline short Ruby snippets inside HTML), and XML Builder.

With the Ruby on Rails framework, users only directly interface with the
Action Controller module. Necessary Action Dispatch functionality is activated
by default and Action View rendering is implicitly triggered by Action
Controller. However, these modules are designed to function on their own and
can be used outside of Rails.
