Remove Active Resource source files from the repository

Dear Active Resource,

It's not that I hate you or anything, but you didn't get much attention lately. There're so many alternatives out there, and I think people have made their choice to use them than you. I think it's time for you to have a big rest, peacefully in this Git repository.

I will miss you,

@sikachu.

-h2. Active Resource Basics
-
-This guide should provide you with all you need to get started managing the connection between business objects and RESTful web services. It implements a way to map web-based resources to local objects with CRUD semantics.
-
-endprologue.
-
-WARNING. This Guide is based on Rails 3.0. Some of the code shown here will not work in earlier versions of Rails.
-
-h3. Introduction
-
-Active Resource allows you to connect with RESTful web services. So, in Rails, Resource classes inherited from +ActiveResource::Base+ and live in  +app/models+.
-
-h3. Configuration and Usage
-
-Putting Active Resource to use is very similar to Active Record.  It's as simple as creating a model class
-that inherits from ActiveResource::Base and providing a <tt>site</tt> class variable to it:
-
-<ruby>
-class Person < ActiveResource::Base
-  self.site = "http://api.people.com:3000/"
-end
-</ruby>
-
-Now the Person class is REST enabled and can invoke REST services very similarly to how Active Record invokes
-life cycle methods that operate against a persistent store.
-
-h3. Reading and Writing Data
-
-Active Resource make request over HTTP using a standard JSON format. It mirrors the RESTful routing built into Action Controller but will also work with any other REST service that properly implements the protocol.
-
-h4. Read
-
-Read requests use the GET method and expect the JSON form of whatever resource/resources is/are being requested.
-
-<ruby>
-# Find a person with id = 1
-person = Person.find(1)
-# Check if a person exists with id = 1
-Person.exists?(1)  # => true
-# Get all resources of Person class
-Person.all
-</ruby>
-
-h4. Create
-
-Creating a new resource submits the JSON form of the resource as the body of the request with HTTP POST method and parse the response into Active Resource object.
-
-<ruby>
-person = Person.create(:name => 'Vishnu')
-person.id  # => 1
-</ruby>
-
-h4. Update
-
-To update an existing resource, 'save' method is used. This method make a HTTP PUT request in JSON format.
-
-<ruby>
-person = Person.find(1)
-person.name = 'Atrai'
-person.save
-</ruby>
-
-h4. Delete
-
-'destroy' method makes a HTTP DELETE request for an existing resource in JSON format to delete that resource.
-
-<ruby>
-person = Person.find(1)
-person.destroy
-</ruby>
-
-h3. Validations
-
-Module to support validation and errors with Active Resource objects. The module overrides Base#save to rescue ActiveResource::ResourceInvalid exceptions and parse the errors returned in the web service response. The module also adds an errors collection that mimics the interface of the errors provided by ActiveModel::Errors.
-
-h4. Validating client side resources by overriding validation methods in base class
-
-<ruby>
-class Person < ActiveResource::Base
-   self.site = "http://api.people.com:3000/"
-
-   protected
-
-   def validate
-     errors.add("last", "has invalid characters") unless last =~ /[a-zA-Z]*/
-   end
-end
-</ruby>
-
-h4. Validating client side resources
-
-Consider a Person resource on the server requiring both a first_name and a last_name with a validates_presence_of :first_name, :last_name declaration in the model:
-
-<ruby>
-person = Person.new(:first_name => "Jim", :last_name => "")
-person.save                   # => false (server returns an HTTP 422 status code and errors)
-person.valid?                 # => false
-person.errors.empty?          # => false
-person.errors.count           # => 1
-person.errors.full_messages   # => ["Last name can't be empty"]
-person.errors[:last_name]  # => ["can't be empty"]
-person.last_name = "Halpert"
-person.save                   # => true (and person is now saved to the remote service)
-</ruby>
-
-h4. Public instance methods
-
-ActiveResource::Validations have three public instance methods
-
-h5. errors()
-
-This will return errors object that holds all information about attribute error messages
-
-h5. save_with_validation(options=nil)
-
-This validates the resource with any local validations written in base class and then it will try to POST if there are no errors.
-
-h5. valid?
-
-Runs all the local validations and will return true if no errors.
