Handle aliased attributes in ActiveRecord::Relation.

When using symbol keys, ActiveRecord will now translate aliased attribute names to the actual column name used in the database:

With the model

  class Topic
    alias_attribute :heading, :title
  end

The call

  Topic.where(heading: 'The First Topic')

should yield the same result as

  Topic.where(title: 'The First Topic')

This also applies to ActiveRecord::Relation::Calculations calls such as `Model.sum(:aliased)` and `Model.pluck(:aliased)`.

This will not work with SQL fragment strings like `Model.sum('DISTINCT aliased')`.
