[Buildroot] Ruby support in Buildroot

Hi,

Our ruby package could use some love. We have no DEVELOPERS entry for
it, and the package has only seen small (security) fixes since 2017 or
so:

https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/log/package/ruby

We are currently using ruby 2.4.x, which has been EOL since April:

https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2020/04/05/support-of-ruby-2-4-has-ended/

I personally do not have the time or interest to update and maintain
ruby, so unless someone steps up to support it I think the best solution
is to drop the package before 2021.02.

Anyone interested in helping support ruby?
