[PATCH][DOCS] Document AR::B attribute query methods

Description

I wasn't aware of that AR::B defined attribute query methods until I read this blog post.

E.g. 

user = User.new(:name => "David")
user.name? # => true

anonymous = User.new(:name => "")
 anonymous.name? # => false

This patch simply adds documentation of the existence of these "magic" methods. Seeing as these methods are dynamically defined in attribute_methods.rb I could only think of putting them in AR::B's rdoc so they'd appear somewhere logical - if somewhere else is better please do suggest.
