[PATCH] Serialization Class Constraint should ignore nil

Description

This patch is in response to:

http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/7283

The ticket cites the ambiguity of handling nil when using serialize with a class constraint.

It is most consistent to allow nil, as nil is the absence of a class, not a mismatch. If a developer wants to reject nil, they may use "validates_presence_of".

This patch includes passing unit test and clarified documentation.
