Cross platform action that installs Ruby, along with tools and packages needed for compiling.

If you don't need any changes to tools or packages, please use ruby/setup-ruby.

The action's inputs are shown below:

    ruby-version:
    bundler:
    apt:             # Ubuntu
    brew:            # macOS
    mingw:           # Windows mingw / mswin
    msys2:           #         mingw
    mswin:           # Windows mswin
    choco:           #         mswin
