Use Ruby 1.8 syntax for the Gemfile, and add a required Ruby version.

gitlab-qa-bot requested to merge github/fork/sodabrew/patch-3 into master

This will make it easier for people to understand when they have a ruby version problem while trying to run bundle install.

If you run bundle install with ruby 1.8, you get this confusing error:

12:46 ~/git/gitlabhq (master)$ bundle install
Gemfile syntax error:
/Users/aaronstone/git/gitlabhq/Gemfile:14: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting $end
gem "mysql2", group: :mysql
                    ^

After this PR, you will get a very readable error message:

12:48 ~/git/gitlabhq (master)$ bundle install
Your Ruby version is 1.8.7, but your Gemfile specified 1.9.3
