Add a patch for RubyInstaller to avoid crash on start up

[ashie]

When a non-ASCII key exists under the registry key SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Uninstall/, Fluentd fails to start workers due to Encoding::UndefinedConversionError. This patch avoid this issue.

Fix #616

Hmm, this patch breaks searching MSYS2 for build :thinking:

[ashie]

I've confirmed that this patch fixes the issue.

We observed that supervisor process of fluentd is finished unexpectedly after about 1 hour passed while repeating recovery. While this situation, opened handles are continually increased, over than 8400 at last.

We got following backtrace on finishing supervisor process.

In the above log, the root cause is squashed by ensure. So I fetched additional backtrace of the exception:

We observed that supervisor process of fluentd is finished unexpectedly after about 1 hour passed while repeating recovery.

I filed a new issue for tracking this problem at ServerEngine's repository: https://github.com/treasure-data/serverengine/issues/145

[kenhys]

Before:

crashed because of problematic registry.

After:

• uninstalled msys64 beforehand.
• No crash on startup.
