Fix ActiveRecord locking column defaults not getting persisted

When partial inserts are enabled, overridden db defaults are ignored. This
results in locking columns having a nil value for new records if the db default
is null. This happens because the list of changed attributes for new records is
always assumed to be empty.

Solution: When a new record's default attributes are set, also initialize the
list of changed attributes by comparing current values against what's stored as
the column defaults in the database.
