= dependent => :protect option

Adds a new option :protect for the parameter <tt>:depends</tt> from +has_many+,
+has_one+ and +belongs_to+ methods. This option forbids destroying records with
associated records in an association created with <tt>:dependent => :protect</tt>
option, more or less like <tt>ON DELETE RESTRICT</tt> SQL statement. If you try
to destroy a record with associated records it will raise an
ActiveRecord::ReferentialIntegrityProtectionError (defined also in this 
plugin).

Based on the idea and the code from [email protected] in Ruby on Rails
ticket #3837 (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3837) and plugin from Daniel
