For discussion:
Consider evaluating association in serializer context
That way, associations are really just anything that
can be conditionally included. They no longer
have to actually be methods on the object or serializer.
e.g.
```diff
has_many :comments do
- last(1)
+ Comment.active.for_serialization(object).last(1)
end
```
* Move all associations related code from Serializer class to Associations module
* Introduce Reflection class hierarchy
* Introduce Association class
* Rid off Serializer#each_association
* Introduce Serializer#associations enumerator
Comparing as a JSON string vs. as the Hash that is convert to JSON
works around the different Hash representations.
This likely has to do with the introduction of
config.action_dispatch.perform_deep_munge in Rails 4.1

Currently, doing `include: author.bio` would work correctly, but not for
has_many associations such as `include: author.roles`. This fixes it.
The problem was basically that we were not handling arrays for has_many linked,
as happens for ArraySerializers.
The options passed to the render are partitioned into adapter options
and serializer options. 'include' and 'root' are sent to the adapter,
not sure what options would go directly to serializer, but leaving this
in until I understand that better.
