Consider replacing `cld2` with `cld3` in Gemfile #159

Running bundle with the current Gemfile fails at installing cld2 on Ubuntu 20.04 (a popular OS). If feasible we should consider replacing it with cld3 as the former is no longer maintained while the latter is.

There were still issues with installing cld3 in Ubuntu 20.04 as it requires an install of protobuf to work.

Hmm, cld3 requires ffi, which leads down a huge rabbit hole on macOS at least: https://github.com/ffi/ffi/issues/653

I'll update the readme to make clear that Ruby is only required for some tasks (that only I perform).

Ah, I see the Rake task that was mentioned in the process note. I've now instead suggested to do those steps manually (checking language and length). I've made cld optional in the repo, since it's only used by the documentation_language_length task.
