Allow passing strings to #public_constant and #private_constant #3470

Hello,

This is a tiny patch that makes #private_constant and #public_constant accept strings as arguments. The maintained constants table is dealing with symbols but these methods can take strings ; it's pretty common to pass class.name as an argument.

MRI is doing the symbol conversion even though the documentation sets "symbol" as the given argument.

The Active Record test suite doesn't run at all on Rubinius since has_and_belongs_to_many relies on this.

Have a nice day.
