/**
* Declare "belongsTo" relation that sets up a one-to-one connection with another model, such that each
* instance of the declaring model "belongs to" one instance of the other model.
*
* For example, if an application includes users and posts, and each post can be written by exactly one user.
* The following code specifies that `Post` has a reference called `author` to the `User` model via the `userId` property of `Post`
* as the foreign key.
* ```
* Post.belongsTo(User, {as: 'author', foreignKey: 'userId'});
* ```
* You can then access the author in one of the following styles.
* Get the User object for the post author asynchronously:
* ```
* post.author(callback);
* ```
* Get the User object for the post author synchronously:
* ```
* post.author();
* ```
* Set the author to be the given user:
* ```
* post.author(user)
* ```
* Examples:
*
* Suppose the model Post has a *belongsTo* relationship with User (the author of the post). You could declare it this way:
* ```js
* Post.belongsTo(User, {as: 'author', foreignKey: 'userId'});
* ```
*
* When a post is loaded, you can load the related author with:
* ```js
* post.author(function(err, user) {
* // the user variable is your user object
* });
* ```
*
* The related object is cached, so if later you try to get again the author, no additional request will be made.
* But there is an optional boolean parameter in first position that set whether or not you want to reload the cache:
* ```js
* post.author(true, function(err, user) {
* // The user is reloaded, even if it was already cached.
* });
* ```
* This optional parameter default value is false, so the related object will be loaded from cache if available.
*
* @param {Class|String} modelTo Model object (or String name of model) to which you are creating the relationship.
* @options {Object} params Configuration parameters; see below.
* @property {String} as Name of the property in the referring model that corresponds to the foreign key field in the related model.
* @property {String} foreignKey Name of foreign key property.

* ```
* User.hasAndBelongsToMany('groups', {model: Group, foreignKey: 'groupId'});
* ```
* Then, to get the groups to which the user belongs:
* ```
* user.groups(callback);

* user.groups.create(data, callback);
