Revert Reload on #new

[tpendragon]

So in using ActiveTriples::Resources as "Almost ActiveRecord" objects, the only big difference I found was that because they reload on #new, there's no such thing as a record with a URI in the database that's not persisted, which makes things like #new forms difficult.

We ended up writing https://github.com/OregonDigital/ControlledVocabularyManager/blob/feature/ActiveTermWrapper/lib/active_triples_adapter.rb

Should we push this kind of behavior into the AT API for a new major version?

I'm in favor of changing this and targeting it at the 1.0 release.

Following up on this; we are still calling #reload in #initialize here.

I might propose rewriting L101-103 like so:

if resource_uri
      set_subject!(resource_uri) 
      reload
end

Would this fit with the past (now closed) issues that reference this one? I haven't tested this change against the specs, just brainstorming.

There is an open issue (#194) that is affected by reload. I do not know whether @mjsuhonos proposal would impact this for the better or worse. This issue came with the change from 0.6 to 0.8.

Thanks @elrayle - I'll keep an eye on #194; unfortunately I'm not too familiar with ParentStrategy so probably can't help much on that issue right now.

Implementing the code above against the blank_node_test branch had no effect on the test results, so they're likely separate issues.
