Add option to skip joins for associations.
In a multiple database application, associations can't join across
databases. When set, this option tells Rails to make 2 or more queries
rather than using joins for associations.

Set the option on a has many through association:

```ruby
class Dog
  has_many :treats, through: :humans, disable_joins: true
  has_many :humans
end
```

Then instead of generating join SQL, two queries are used for `@dog.treats`:

```
SELECT "humans"."id" FROM "humans" WHERE "humans"."dog_id" = ?  [["dog_id", 1]]
SELECT "treats".* FROM "treats" WHERE "treats"."human_id" IN (?, ?, ?)  [["human_id", 1], ["human_id", 2], ["human_id", 3]]
```

This code is extracted from a gem we use internally at GitHub which
means the implementation here is used in production daily and isn't
experimental.

I often get the question "why can't Rails do this automatically" so I
figured I'd include the answer in the commit. Rails can't do this
automatically because associations are lazily loaded. `dog.treats` needs
to load `Dog`, then `Human` and then `Treats`. When `dog.treats` is
called Rails pre-generates the SQL that will be run and puts that
information into a reflection object. Because the SQL parts are pre-generated,
as soon as `dog.treats` is loaded it's too late to skip a join. The join
is already available on the object and that join is what's run to load
`treats` from `dog` through `humans`. I think the only way to avoid setting
an option on the association is to rewrite how and when the SQL is
generated for associations which is a large undertaking. Basically the
way that Active Record associations are designed, it is currently
impossible to have Rails figure out to not join (loading the association
will cause the join to occur, and that join will raise an error if the
models don't live in the same db).

The original implementation was written by me and Aaron. Lee helped port
over tests, and I refactored the extraction to better match Rails style.
