Fix docs for ActiveSupport::Inflector methods

Many methods in ActiveSupport::Inflector were actually documenting
the String methods with the same name.

For instance the doc for `camelize` said:

> If the argument to +camelize+ is set to <tt>:lower</tt>...

while it should say:

> If the +uppercase_first_letter+ parameter is set to false
