allow setting of a demodulized class name when using STI

If your STI class looks like this:

```ruby
class Company < ActiveRecord::Base
  self.store_full_sti_class = false

  class GoodCo < Company
  end

  class BadCo < Company
  end
end
```

The expectation (which is valid) is that the `type` in the database is saved as
`GoodCo` or `BadCo`. However, another expectation should be that setting `type`
to `GoodCo` would correctly instantiate the object as a `Company::GoodCo`. That
second expectation is what this should fix.
