Added option `:force_non_association_create`. 

This option will allow users to use `link_to_add_association`
in the nested fields loop, since it will not add
the new object to the association. Fixes #66.
By default we will still create the object in the
association, as I believe that is the cleanest.

- `render_options` : options passed through to the form-builder function (e.g. `simple_fields_for`, `semantic_fields_for` or `fields_for`).
If it contains a `:locals` option containing a hash, that is handed to the partial.
- `wrap_object` : a proc that will allow to wrap your object, especially useful if you are using decorators (e.g. draper). See example lower.
- `force_non_association_create`: if true, it will _not_ create the new object using the association (see lower)
Optionally you could also leave out the name and supply a block that is captured to give the name (if you want to do something more complicated).

#### :force_non_association_create
In normal cases we create a new nested object using the association relation itself. This is the cleanest way to create
a new nested object. But this has a side-effect: for each call of `link_to_add_association` a new element is added to the association.
In most cases this is not a problem, but if you want to render a `link_to_add_association` for each nested element this will result
in an infinite loop.
To resolve this, specify that `:force_non_association_create` should be `true`, as follows:
```
link_to_add_association('add something', @form_obj, :comments, :force_non_association_create => true)
```
By default `:force_non_association_create` is `false`.
> A cleaner option would be to call a function that performs this initialisation and returns `self` at the end.
