Fix generators to help with ambiguous `ApplicationController` issue

In development mode, dependencies are loaded dynamically at runtime,
using `const_missing`. Because of that, when one of the constants is
already loaded and `const_missing` is not triggered, user can end up
with unexpected results.

Given such file in an Engine:

```ruby
module Blog
  class PostsController < ApplicationController
  end
end
```

If you load it first, before loading any application files, it will
correctly load `Blog::ApplicationController`, because second line will
hit `const_missing`. However if you load `ApplicationController` first,
the constant will be loaded already, `const_missing` hook will not be
fired and in result `PostsController` will inherit from
`ApplicationController` instead of `Blog::ApplicationController`.

Since it can't be fixed in `AS::Dependencies`, the easiest fix is to
just explicitly load application controller.
