Centralize Ruby Version to .ruby-version

[jenshenny]

What are you trying to accomplish?

The .ruby-version file is the ecosystem standard for defining a Ruby version. This PR adds the .ruby-version file, ensures a required_ruby_version is set, and removes all other references to Ruby in this repository, aligning it with the standard.

What should reviewers focus on?

I created a RuboCop TODO for now. I created a PR to fix these violations here #1340

Can we just stop bumping rubocop in open source repos, it always creates a mess.

These PRs ought to be simple changes, I don't want tons of rubocop pedantry with them.

Why are you removing this?

A

[casperisfine]

There is no TargetRubyVersion defined in rubocop.yml

This should not apply to open source nor to libraries in general. Contrary to apps, they support multiple Ruby versions.

[jenshenny]

In RuboCop 1.61.0, this value will be read from required_ruby_version and will take the oldest supported version from that spec. rubocop/rubocop#12645. This will remove having to update the value when you want to update the minimum supported version.

If you do not want to update Rubocop for this feature due to the other changes it causes, I'll remove the changes related to RuboCop.

Yeah it's fine, let's keep a minor duplication for now. I'll update Rubocop when it makes sense.

Sweet! I removed the Rubocop bump ✅
