Add an #unmark_for_destruction method to ActiveRecord::AutosaveAssociation

#6106

At the moment, the only way to clear a mark for destruction from an association is to use #reload. This method also queries the database again and resets the attributes on the model. It is preferable to have an unmark_for_destruction method that accomplishes just the clearing of the flag.

To give an example of how this is helpful: if a method's default behavior is to destroy all associated records, except for a few that match certain characteristics, it is more intuitive to mark them all for destruction and then unmark the matching records.

I've attached a patch with tests.

Thanks,
-Mike
