[DRE-maint] Rubygems 1.0.0

Hi folks,

I was keen to test my rails apps under 1.9, but to do that I needed
rubygems installed. Attached is an svn diff of libgems-ruby that creates
rubygems 1.0.0 packages for both 1.8 and 1.9.

There were significant changes upstream, so it's a significant patch to
the 0.9.4-4 package. I mainly intended it for my own testing, as I'm not
aware of the maintainers plans for the future. Is there much point to
providing rubygems for 1.9 in the official repositories? If not, the 1.9
stuff can probably be removed quite easily and provide a head start for
getting 1.0.0 for ruby 1.8 into unstable.

All the rubygems package contains now is the bash completion stuff. It
would almost be worth renaming the 3 binary packages to
rubygems1.8/rubygems1.9/rubygems-common.

From changelog:
* New upstream version (closes: #457065, #457180, #443135)
* Reworked rules to suit changed setup.rb
  The --prefix argument to setup.rb is behaving oddly
* Removed manpages for binaries that don't exist anymore
* Removed patches that have been applied upstream
  * 03_config_file
  * 04_gem_runner
  * 07_security
  * 06_dependency_list
  * 10_datadir
* Removed unnecessary patches
  * 02_post-install
  * 09_installer
* Tried to remove the patch that moves the default gem dir to
  /var/lib/gems and use a standard config method recommended by
  upstream, but couldn't find anything appropriate. Ended up tweaking
  the patch to operate at a lower level to try and reduce the
  invasiveness.
* Added a new binary package to support gems in ruby 1.9 (closes: #453251)
  * gem script is now renamed to gem1.8 and gem1.9 to allow parallel
    installs
* Disabled gem update --system (closes: #452547)
* Bumped standards version
