Some time ago, we started using and recommending the shorter 2-line version for use in Ruby packages when the test suite is missing the gem.

This PR brings the documentation up to speed with today's practices in rubygem packaging.

@vondruch JFYI.

See #1046 earlier attempt for basically the same change.
It gathered a surprising amount of discussion, but did not go anywhere.
I hope this attempt fares better!

Oh no, I wasn't aware of that PR.

Metadata Update from @tibbs:
- Pull-request tagged with: meeting

Tagging as meeting because this deserves consideration but concerns were raised in the related PR. I do not personally understand the issues involved.

I guess we'll close this ... nobody on the FPC really knows ruby, if you want to talk to the people who had problems in 1046 and come to happy change ... then feel free to open another PR.
