Easy way to add BCrypt strong password capability to an ActiveRecord model.

This is typically useful to add to a Ruby On Rails ActiveRecord user model.

Example:
  require 'sixarm_ruby_password_attribute'
  class User
    include PasswordAttribute
  end

Example: create new user
  user=User.new
  user.password='secret'  # automatically converts plain text to bcrypt
  user.save

Example: is a user's password valid?
  if user.password=='secret' 
    # password is valid
  else
    # password is invalid
  end

  u.password='secret'
  => user's password is now secret

  u.password=='secret'
  => true

  u.password=='xxx'
  => false
