*   Add support for error dispatcher classes in `ActiveSupport::Rescuable`.
    Now it acts closer to Ruby's rescue.

        class BaseController < ApplicationController
          module ErrorDispatcher
            def self.===(other)
              Exception === other && other.respond_to?(:status)
            end
          end

          rescue_from ErrorDispatcher do |error|
            render status: error.status, json: { error: error.to_s }
          end
        end

*   Add `#verified` and `#valid_message?` methods to `ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier`

    Previously, the only way to decode a message with `ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier`
    was to use `#verify`, which would raise an exception on invalid messages. Now
    `#verified` can also be used, which returns `nil` on messages that cannot be
    decoded.

    Previously, there was no way to check if a message's format was valid without
    attempting to decode it. `#valid_message?` is a boolean convenience method that
    checks whether the message is valid without actually decoding it.
