ruby arrays don't throw an exception; they return nil.  Lets do the
same!

this fix also includes the ability to use negative array indicies

system. The Ruby module build now uses an amalgamated distribution of
upb, and successfully builds a Ruby gem called 'google-protobuf' with
module 'google/protobuf'.

This adds a Ruby extension in ruby/ that is based on the 'upb' library
(now included as a submodule), and adds support for Ruby code generation
to the protoc compiler.
