Deprecating composed_of in ActiveRecord

This feature adds a lot of complication to ActiveRecord for dubious
value. Let's talk about what it does currently:

class Customer < ActiveRecord::Base
  composed_of :balance, :class_name => "Money", :mapping => %w(balance
amount)
end

Instead, you can do something like this:

    def balance
      @balance ||= Money.new(value, currency)
    end

    def balance=(balance)
      self[:value] = balance.value
      self[:currency] = balance.currency
      @balance = balance
    end

Since that's fairly easy code to write, and doesn't need anything
extra from the framework, if you use composed_of today, you'll
have to add accessors/mutators like that.

This feature will be removed in Rails 4.
