Fix replacement of non-`metadata` embedded `StripeObjects`

So we have a bit of a problem right now when it comes to replacing a
`StripeObject` that's embedded in an API resource.

Most of the time when someone does this, they want to _replace_ an
object embedded in another object. Take setting a source on a
subscription for example:

``` ruby
subscription.source = {
  object: 'card',
  number: 123,
}
subscription.save
```

In the case above, the serialized parameters should come out as:

```
source[object]=card&source[number]=123
```

That should apply even if the previous source had something else set on
it which we're not going to set this time -- say an optional parameter
like `source[address_state]`. Those should not be present at all in the
final serialized parameters.

(Another example is setting a `payout_schedule` as seen in #631 which is
PR is intended to address.)

There is an exception to this rule in the form of metadata though.
Metadata is a bit of a strange case in that the API will treat it as
additive, so if we send `metadata[foo]`, that will set the `foo` key,
but it won't overwrite any other keys that were already present.

This is a problem because when a user fully sets `metadata` to a new
object in Ruby, what they're probably trying to do is _replace_ it
rather than add to it. For example:

``` ruby
subscription.metadata
=> { old: 'bar' }

subscription.metadata = {
  new: 'baz'
}
subscription.save
```

To accomplish what the user is probably trying to do, we actually need
to send `metadata[old]=&metadata[new]=baz` so that we empty the value of
`old` while simultaneously setting `new` to `baz`.

In summary, metadata behaves different from other embedded objects in a
fairly fundamental way, and because the code is currently only set up to
handle the metadata case, it's not behaving correctly when other types
of objects are being set. A lot of the time emptying values like we do
for `metadata` is benign, but as we've seen in #631, s... (continued)
