Add config.disable_sandbox option to Rails console
A long-running `rails console --sandbox` could cause a database server to become out-of-memory as it's holding on to changes that happen on the database. Given that it's common for Ruby on Rails application with huge traffic to have separate write database and read database, we should allow the developers to disable this sandbox option to prevent someone from accidentally causing the Denial-of-Service on their server.

+* `config.disable_sandbox` controls whether or not someone could start a console in sandbox mode, as a long session of sandbox console could lead database server to run out of memory.
+
* `config.eager_load` when `true`, eager loads all registered `config.eager_load_namespaces`. This includes your application, engines, Rails frameworks, and any other registered namespace.
* `config.eager_load_namespaces` registers namespaces that are eager loaded when `config.eager_load` is `true`. All namespaces in the list must respond to the `eager_load!` method.
