Add ActiveJob.perform_all_later to enqueue multiple jobs at once
This adds the ability to bulk enqueue jobs, without running callbacks. This can greatly reduce the number of round-trips to the queue datastore. For queue adapters that do not implement the new enqueue_all method, we fall back to enqueuing jobs individually.

Allow to define the default column serializer
YAML has quite a bit of footguns, as such it’s desirable to be able to substitute it for something else or even simply to force users to define a serializer explicitly for every serialized columns. The follow-up pull request drops the default for new applications.

Allow mailer classes to customize the deliver_later queue name
The deliver_later_queue_name was already configurable on ActionMailer::Base, however the value was inherited by all the mailer subclasses. From now on it can be customized per single mailer.

Allow 3-tier shared config in database.yml
Previously, the shared config hash would be merged with all database configurations defined in database.yml.

Add config.hosts and config.host_authorization to new app templates
Rails has a default “/up” endpoint to help load balancers and uptime monitors. DNS rebindings sometimes get in the way of it. Suggesting settings for both hosts and host_authorization helps to reduce this friction.
