Initializes replicable objects with positional and named arguments

 - Positional and named arguments may be passed when initializing
   "replicable" classes

 - When multiple classes are registered under the same key, all
   classes receive the same arguments

 ### Added
 
 - Abstract classes can extend Replicator::Replicable to make their descendants "replicable"
 - Concrete, "replicable" classes can self register under one or more keys by calling `replicates :symbol`
 - Multiple concrete, "replicable" classes can self register under the same key by calling `replicates :symbol`
 - Registered, "replicable" classes can be instantiated using the abstract parent's `.replicate(:symbol)` method
+- Positional and named arguments may be passed when initializing "replicable" classes
