unkin-agent 18c58dc9c7 Add gems virtual repositories (#154)
Bundler needs one source for internal and public gems, but gems virtuals have no merger, so a local gems repo and rubygems.org cannot be served together.

- merge `info/<gem>` across members (member order wins a duplicate version-platform); pass a single-member gem through verbatim
- regenerate `versions` lines and md5s for gems several members list; union `names`
- 302 `gems/*.gem` and `quick/Marshal.4.8/*` to the member owning that version, via the shared member-path validation
- return 502 on a member error; cache merges in the shared virtual cache; route HEAD on virtuals
- add `docs/gems/virtual.md` and a stock `ruby:3.3` bundler e2e-docker case

# `gems` virtual
A gems virtual serves one RubyGems source over local and remote gems members:
`gem install` and `bundle install` work against `/api/v1/virtual/<name>/`.
- `info/<gem>` is the union of member lines; on a duplicate version-platform
the earlier member wins. A gem only one member has is served verbatim.
- `versions` regenerates the line (and md5) of every gem several members list
from its merged `info`; other gems' lines pass through. `names` is the union.
- `gems/*.gem` and `quick/Marshal.4.8/*.gemspec.rz` 302 to the member whose
`info` line won.
- A member error fails the request with 502; a member without the gem is
skipped. Merges are cached for 60s.
```hcl
resource "artifactapi_virtual" "gems" {
name = "gems"
package_type = "gems"
members = [artifactapi_local_gems.internal.name, artifactapi_remote_gems.rubygems.name]
}
```
```ruby
# Gemfile
source "https://artifactapi.example.com/api/v1/virtual/gems/"
```
Push to the local member directly; the virtual is read-only.
