thedarkone 45448a5788 Replace some global Hash usages with the new thread safe cache.
Summary of the changes:
 * Add thread_safe gem.
 * Use thread safe cache for digestor caching.
 * Replace manual synchronization with ThreadSafe::Cache in Relation::Delegation.
 * Replace @attribute_method_matchers_cache Hash with ThreadSafe::Cache.
 * Use TS::Cache to avoid the synchronisation overhead on listener retrieval.
 * Replace synchronisation with TS::Cache usage.
 * Use a preallocated array for performance/memory reasons.
 * Update the controllers cache to the new AS::Dependencies::ClassCache API.
   The original @controllers cache no longer makes much sense after @tenderlove's
   changes in 7b6bfe84f3 and f345e2380c.
 * Use TS::Cache in the connection pool to avoid locking overhead.
 * Use TS::Cache in ConnectionHandler.

= 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.
