Fix documentation for has_many dependant options.
* A `has_many` dependant association accepts `[:destroy, :delete_all, :nullify,
:restrict_with_error, :restrict_with_exception]` as options.
Currently the documentation references `delete` instead of `delete_all`
* Adds documentation for other options
