Koichiro Iwao 7e9e8d963e databases/ruby-gdbm: Gemify gdbm
since gdbm is gemified in upstream after Ruby 2.5 [1]. Ruby 2.4 can also
use the gdbm gem because it is a gem!

- Add MOVED entry
- Bump PORTEPOCH because PORTVERSION goes barwards
- Update pkg-descr and WWW
- Remove unnecessary pkg-message

[1] https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5481

Update lang/ruby* ports:

- Do not build gdbm together with Ruby interpreter, but build as a rubygem
- Remove ${BUILD_WRKSRC}/ext/gdbm instead of moving it to ${WRKDIR}
- Update pkg-message to mention rubygem-gdbm instead of ruby-gdbm

Also following changes are made to ruby-gdbm consumers:

- Updade dependency to depend on rubygem-gdbm
- Bump PORTREVISION due to dependency change

Ruby extension for GNU dbm (gdbm) -- a simple database engine for
storing key-value pairs on disk.
GNU dbm is a library for simple databases. A database is a file that
stores key-value pairs. Gdbm allows the user to store, retrieve, and
delete data by key. It furthermore allows a non-sorted traversal of
all key-value pairs. A gdbm database thus provides the same
functionality as a hash. As with objects of the Hash class, elements
can be accessed with []. Furthermore, GDBM mixes in the Enumerable
module, thus providing convenient methods such as #find, #collect,
#map, etc.
A process is allowed to open several different databases at the same
time. A process can open a database as a "reader" or a
"writer". Whereas a reader has only read-access to the database, a
writer has read- and write-access. A database can be accessed either
by any number of readers or by exactly one writer at the same time.
