Petrik c477d95604 Introduce ActiveModel::API
Currently `ActiveModel::Model` is defined as the minimum API to talk
with Action Pack and Action View.
Its name suggests it can be included to create Active Record type
models, but for creating models it's probably too minimal. For example
it's very common to include ActiveModel::Attributes as well.

By moving `ActiveModel::Model`'s implementation to a new
`ActiveModel::API` we keep a definition of the minimum API to talk with
Action Pack and Action View.

For `ActiveModel::Model` we only need to include `ActiveModel::API`.
This will allow adding more funcationality to `ActiveModel::Model` while
keeping backwards compatibility.

module ActiveModel
# == Active \Model \API
#
# Includes the required interface for an object to interact with
# Action Pack and Action View, using different Active Model modules.
# It includes model name introspections, conversions, translations and
# validations. Besides that, it allows you to initialize the object with a
# hash of attributes, pretty much like Active Record does.
#
# A minimal implementation could be:
#
# class Person
# include ActiveModel::API
# attr_accessor :name, :age
# end
#
# person = Person.new(name: 'bob', age: '18')
# person.name # => "bob"
# person.age # => "18"
#
# Note that, by default, <tt>ActiveModel::API</tt> implements <tt>persisted?</tt>
# to return +false+, which is the most common case. You may want to override
# it in your class to simulate a different scenario:
#
# class Person
# include ActiveModel::API
# attr_accessor :id, :name
#
# def persisted?
# self.id.present?
# end
# end
#
# person = Person.new(id: 1, name: 'bob')
# person.persisted? # => true
#
# Also, if for some reason you need to run code on <tt>initialize</tt>, make
# sure you call +super+ if you want the attributes hash initialization to
# happen.
#
# class Person
# include ActiveModel::API
# attr_accessor :id, :name, :omg
#
# def initialize(attributes={})
# super
# @omg ||= true
# end
# end
#
# person = Person.new(id: 1, name: 'bob')
# person.omg # => true
#
# For more detailed information on other functionalities available, please
# refer to the specific modules included in <tt>ActiveModel::API</tt>
# (see below).
