Using without ActiveRecord

[artofhuman]

jsonapi.rb depends on ransack which crashed if application used without ActiveRecord. (https://github.com/activerecord-hackery/ransack/blob/master/lib/ransack/adapters.rb#L14) for example, if we use Sequel.

Do we have a workaround to use this lib without active record?

@artofhuman totally agree, no need to make Ransack a hard dep.

In fact we can refactor the require calls to leave a warning if Ransack is not available, the rest should work just fine, like we did here:
https://github.com/stas/jsonapi.rb/blob/master/lib/jsonapi/deserialization.rb#L1-L9

The only relevant file is just this one:
https://github.com/stas/jsonapi.rb/blob/master/lib/jsonapi/filtering.rb#L1-L2

@artofhuman, the ransack is no longer a hard dependency. Please let me know if this is still an issue. Relevant PR #76 🙇
