Remove ActiveModel dependency from ActionPack

ActiveModel is used in ActionPack for ActiveModel::Naming for a few,
mostly optional aspects of ActionPack related to automatically converting
an ActiveModel compliant object into a key for params and routing. It uses
only three methods of ActiveModel (ActiveModel::Naming.route_key,
ActiveModel::Naming.singular_route_key and ActiveModel::Naming.param_key).
Add more options to column_exists? method

Also fix failures in check options for nil
Merge pull request #6913 from lexmag/column_exists_options

Add :default and :null options to column_exists? method

Examples:

    column_exists?(:testings, :taggable_id, :integer, null: false)
    column_exists?(:testings, :taggable_type, :string, default: 'Photo')

Persist glob when replacing a path

When Rails::Paths::Root's []= is used to replace a path it should persist the previous path's glob. Without passing the glob along we get gnarly bugs when trying to wire up things like engines.

    module FooEngine
      class Engine < ::Rails::Engine
        isolate_namespace FooEngine

        config.paths['config/initializers'] = "lib/foo_engine/initializers"
      end
    end

    ## Example of behaviour before this commit.
    #
    # Before the initializer override:
    >> FooEngine::Engine.config.paths["config/initializers"].glob
    => "**/*.rb"

    # After the initializer override:
    >> FooEngine::Engine.config.paths["config/initializers"].glob
    => nil

    ## Example of behaviour after this commit.
    #
    # Before the initializer override:
    >> FooEngine::Engine.config.paths["config/initializers"].glob
    => "**/*.rb"

    # After the initializer override:
    >> FooEngine::Engine.config.paths["config/initializers"].glob
    => "**/*.rb"
Use strftime to convert DateTime to numeric

The native implementation of the seconds since the UNIX epoch in
strftime is significantly faster than our method.

Benchmark:
----------
require 'benchmark/ips'
require 'date'
require 'time'

date = DateTime.civil(1253,7,6,20,4,0)

Benchmark.ips do |x|
  x.report("strftime.to_i") { date.strftime('%s').to_i }
  x.report("ssue.to_i") { ((date - DateTime.civil(1970)) * 86400).to_i }

  x.report("strftime.to_f") { date.strftime('%s').to_f }
  x.report("ssue.to_f") { ((date - DateTime.civil(1970)) * 86400).to_f }
end

Remove DateTime#to_time override

Currently if the offset is not zero then to_time returns self which
can lead to errors where a developer assumes that the value is a
Time. To solve this we can use the native implementation of
DateTime#to_time in Ruby 1.9.3 as it handles offsets properly and
is faster than our override.
Remove rescue clause from ActiveSupport::TimeZone#to_f

Time#at no longer raises an error for large values so we can remove
the rescue clause from ActiveSupport::TimeZone#to_f.
Make Time#change work with offsets other than UTC or local

Use Time.new to create times where the current offset is not zero or
not in the local time zone - closes #4847 and #6651.

Improve performance of DateTime#seconds_since_unix_epoch

Calculate the seconds since the UNIX epoch using the difference in
Julian day numbers from the epoch date. By reducing the Rational math
to just the offset component this gives a significant improvement.
