Steps aren't printed out in rspec >= 2.14

Hi there, the internals have changed in 2.14 where the internal steps aren't printed out. The longrun spec works, but you can reproduce it with the following:

# in ./something_spec.rb
describe "Account management" do
  include RSpec::Longrun::DSL

  example "Log in and alter preferences" do
    step "Log in" do
    end

    step "Navigate to preferences page" do
    end
  end
end

RSPEC_VERSION=2.14.0 bundle update rspec
ruby-2.0.0-p353 ~/projects/rspec-longrun (master) ∴ be rspec something_spec.rb 
Account management {
  Log in and alter preferences OK (0.00s)
} (0.00s)

Finished in 0.00045 seconds
1 example, 0 failures

I haven't figured out the best way to submit a PR, but this works for me locally without having to monkey patch RSpec::Core:

RSpec.configuration.before(:suite) do
  RSpec.configuration.formatters.each do |formatter|
    RSpec.configuration.reporter.register_listener(formatter, :step_started, :step_finished)
  end
end

module DSL
  private

  def step(description)
    pending(description) unless block_given?
    begin
      RSpec.configuration.reporter.notify(:step_started, description)
      yield
    ensure
      RSpec.configuration.reporter.notify(:step_finished, description)
    end
  end
end

Looking at the rspec internals, I believe all of those methods are considered public API.

Cheers for the report. I've managed to derive a failing test, and will look at integrating your fix. Looks like Reporter#register_listener is new, so I might have to get tricky to support backward compatibility.

@mdub Yeah that's fair.

One hackish suggestion:

1.9.3p484 :020 > RSpec.configuration.reporter.respond_to?(:register_listener)
 => true 

Another slightly more robust one:

1.9.3p484 :018 > major, minor = RSpec::Version::STRING.split('.')
 => ["2", "14", "1"] 
1.9.3p484 :019 > major.to_i <= 2 && minor.to_i < 14
 => false
