Make authorize a module method

[scottjacobsen]

I've run into cases where it would be nice to use the authorize method outside a controller. It would be handy to be able to do Pundit.authorize(user, record, :edit?) where that method would raise Pundit::NotAuthorizedError if the action is not authorized.

It seems like it would be a simple matter of making the current authorize method a module method that takes three arguments - user, record, query, and making the current authorize instance method delegate to that method.

I would be happy to submit a PR if that sounds like it is worth doing.

Sounds like an interesting idea to me, so a PR would be great!

Any progress on getting this feature implemented?

As far as I know my PR is ready to go.
