[PATCH] Replaces relative rdoc links with hyperlinks to the Rails API documentation.

Making the links relative would work for local files, but would break the generated RDoc that you see on Github again.

As it stands I can't seem to marry both worlds at this time. A tweak to Github's markup library (http://github.com/github/markup/blob/master/lib/github/markup/rdoc.rb) might be needed. I will investigate that and update this ticket.

Excellent.

If there's a conflict the API should win (the current relative links need to be revised anyway because they are not valid).

I am going to split this problem in two. First fix the broken relative links in the readmes, then make sure github sees them as valid rdoc.

For the first half, this patch fixes the broken links. It applies to both master and 3-0-stable.

For the second half of this problem, a fix has already been pushed to the github-markup repo.

But it hasn't made it to the gem or GitHub production yet. I will ask them to push out a new version so our README.rdoc render properly.
