Merge pull request #11396 from strzalek/extract_renderers

Remove dependency on Action View from Action Pack

This set of changes removes the need of using Action View with Action Pack.
Now you may use controllers without Action View, by rendering `:text` response
or alternatively you can plug in your own rendering logic. This is especially
handy when you're just dealing with APIs and don't need to include entire
Action View just to render simple JSON responses.
