Remove ActiveModel dependency from ActionPack

ActiveModel is used in ActionPack for ActiveModel::Naming for a few,
mostly optional aspects of ActionPack related to automatically converting
an ActiveModel compliant object into a key for params and routing. It uses
only three methods of ActiveModel (ActiveModel::Naming.route_key,
ActiveModel::Naming.singular_route_key and ActiveModel::Naming.param_key).
