More helpful error message when instantiating an abstract class

Calling a literal ActiveRecord::Base.new raises NoMethodError,
since it ends up calling Class.abstract_class? which does not exist.
Similarly, instantiating an actual abstract class hits the database,
when conventionally it should immediately throw NotImplementedError.

ActiveRecord::Base can't be made abstract without breaking many,
many things, so check for it separately.
`validates_confirmation_of` does not override writer methods.
`has_secure_password` is not invalid when assigning empty Strings.

Closes #9535.

With 692b3b6 the `password=` setter does no longer set blank passwords.
This triggered validation errors when assigning empty Strings to `password`
and `password_confirmation`.

This patch only sets the confirmation if it is not `blank?`.
