ActiveResource validations

#6041

I expected to have invalid records when I added to errors locally, regardless of contacting the server - is that inaccurate?

    ruby-1.8.7-p302 > class Widget < ActiveResource::Base
    ruby-1.8.7-p302 ?>  end
     => nil 
    ruby-1.8.7-p302 > 
    ruby-1.8.7-p302 >   widget = Widget.new
     => #<Widget:0x10522dd40 @prefix_options={}, @attributes={}> 
    ruby-1.8.7-p302 > widget.errors
     => #<OrderedHash {}> 
    ruby-1.8.7-p302 > widget.valid?
     => true 
    ruby-1.8.7-p302 > widget.errors
     => #<OrderedHash {}> 
    ruby-1.8.7-p302 > widget.errors.add :base, 'invalid'
     => ["invalid"] 
    ruby-1.8.7-p302 > widget.errors
     => #<OrderedHash {:base=>["invalid"]}> 
    ruby-1.8.7-p302 > widget.valid?
     => true 
    ruby-1.8.7-p302 > widget.errors
     => #<OrderedHash {}>

ActiveRecord and ActiveResource clears all the errors when .valid? is called. Right now I am not able to locate the code but I know that's what happens.

ActiveResource calls super - https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activeresource/lib/activ...

ActiveModel does the clear - https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activemodel/lib/active_m...

So I guess my issue isn't with how or where that's happening, rather - why does it work that way, and is there a way to do what I wanted to do?

I guess one reason I need the current behavior is to be able to do this.
```
c = Car.new
c.valid? #=> false 
c.name = 'Honda'
c.valid? #=> true
```
If the errors are not cleared then manually I will have to clear it.
