Subject: [PATCH] Add ActiveModel::Errors#merge!

ActiveModel::Errors#merge! allows ActiveModel::Errors to append errors from
a separate ActiveModel::Errors instance onto their own.

Example:

    person = Person.new
    person.errors.add(:name, :blank)

    errors = ActiveModel::Errors.new(Person.new)
    errors.add(:name, :invalid)

    person.errors.merge!(errors)
    puts person.errors.messages
    # => { name: ["can't be blank", "is invalid"] }
