A simple mock object that provides the ActiveRecord method
signatures read_attribute(key) and write_attribute(key,val),
and simple record finder signatures find(id) and find(:all).


This provides some of the ActiveRecord method signatures we use:
  - read_attribute(key)
  - write_attribute(key,val)
  - find(id)
  - find(:all)

Example:
  mock = ActiveRecordMock.new
  mock.write_attribute('foo','bar')
  mock.read_attribute('foo') => 'bar'

Example of initialize with attributes:
  mock = ActiveRecordMock.new(:foo => 'bar', :goo => 'car', :hoo => 'dar')
  mock.read_attribute(:foo') => 'bar'
  mock.read_attribute(:goo') => 'car'
  mock.read_attribute(:hoo') => 'dar'

Example of creating mock users:
  anne = ActiveRecordMock.new(:id => 123, :name => 'Anne')
  beth = ActiveRecordMock.new(:id => 456, :name => 'Beth')
  cate = ActiveRecordMock.new(:id => 789, :name => 'Cate')

Example of mock finder creation:
  ActiveRecordMock.find=[anne,beth,cate]

Example of mock finder retrieval of records by id:
  ActiveRecordMock.find(123) => anne
  ActiveRecordMock.find(456) => beth
  ActiveRecordMock.find(789) => cate

Example of mock finder retrieval of all records:
  ActiveRecordMock.find(:all) => [anne,beth,cate]
