AR::Relation can't be encoded to JSON

#5073

Although AR::Relation provides to_json, it still can't be encoded with ActiveSupport::JSON.encode because the latter detects a circular reference and errors out. So, this is not possible:

# controller action
render :json => relation

I fixed it by providing as_json method in AR::Relation.

What's wrong with pushing changes to my remote? With hub, the above link can be cherry-picked by just doing this:
```
$ git cherry-pick http://github.com/mislav/rails/commit/59a4fe0a09
```
This is much faster and easier than applying mailbox-formatted patch files.
