Speed-up TimeWithZone to String conversion

I've noticed that `String(model.created_at)` is performing poorly in comparision
with other fields. The source of the problem is a way `Kernel#String` works: it first
tries to call `to_str` (which causes `NoMethodError` in `method_missing`) and then calls `to_s`.

Performance tests:

    tz = Time.zone.now

    Benchmark.ips do |x|
      x.report { String(tz) }
    end

Without this code:
