Fallback to ActiveRecord connection if no ENV variables exist

[neilmiddleton]

As discussed in #96 - this pull request will fallback to ActiveRecord should it exist and use the connection defined there.

@neilmiddleton what do you think of #97? I think I prefer #97 as it is a bit more abstract. For instance, if I am using sinatra + sequel and I want to share the same database connection between sequel and queue_classic, I can pass the connection to queue_classic.

I'm wondering if a hybrid of both approaches might work best. For instance, most people will be using one of two or three ORMs so falling back to those silently might work well - but there'll also be instances where passing the connection in would be good.

Given that #97 is merged, is this still relevant @ryandotsmith?

I think #97 is the future. Having QC provide a method to override the connection seems like the path of least resistance. Thanks for the PR anyways... I appreciate your thought and time.
