PhantomJS has been abandoned. At the same time Chrome provides native support for headless mode that is now the recommended way.

This PR fixes a bug when assigning symbols to ignored_columns in Active Record was ignored. Now the accessor accepts both strings and symbols.

Previously, returning false from the ajax:beforeSend callback didn't cancel the request as it was expected.
