Require `active_support` before cherry-picking features

[byroot]

It's part of the Active Support contract, the entry point must be loaded, otherwise requiring individual components may fail.

Fixes:

Would be possible to merge this one in the near future?

This is causing failures for us in cucumber builds for rspec so would also love to see this merged 🙏
