Re organised patterns object so it works in IE8 when minified

[krishandley]

Fixes this issue #22 where the minified version in IE8 was getting this error n.patterns.validate is null or not an object

Works as expected.
👍 for merging.

Thanks for the pull request and the feedback. I'll check into this soon.

We'll have to update this test to ensure that modifying one of the patterns results in proper functionality.

As a bonus, we could build the tests to prove that Hyphen Notation and Dot Notation work reliably.

Hyphen Notation

$.extend(FormSerializer.patterns, {
  validate: /^[a-z][a-z0-9_-]*(?:\[(?:\d*|[a-z0-9_]+)\])*$/i,
  key:      /[a-z0-9_-]+|(?=\[\])/gi,
  named:    /^[a-z0-9_-]+$/i
});

Dot Notation

$.extend(FormSerializer.patterns, {
  validate: /^[a-z][a-z0-9_]*(?:\.[a-z0-9_]+)*(?:\[\])?$/i
});

I've been really bogged down these last couple weeks, so if someone wants to knockout those tests, I'll be happy to merge this in.

If not, I can try to get to it this upcoming week.

I've added a couple of tests to check that extending the patterns works, and I've also manually tested the pattern extending for hyphens using the uglified version and it still seems to work fine in IE8.

@krishandley, thanks a bunch for hacking up a couple tests for this.

I'm glad to know that pattern overriding still works.

My IE8 virtual machine isn't working for some reason, would you mind verifying that this branch works okay in IE8?

The minified file from that branch works fine in IE8 :)

Thanks again for the help, @krishandley. Make sure to grab the latest 2.3.0 for use with IE8.
