Implement support for Ruby 3.1 using native Windows build of dwarfs #117

Since the previos attempt to build Windows version of tebako failed on the very late stages I belive we need to start with prototyping:

[x] (Proof of Concept) Ruby 3.x Windows build script with minimal dependencies on DLLs
[x] (Proof of Concept) A build script for native extension that uses ruby.exe exports ([line number 4 on the diagram])(https://github.com/tamatebako/tebako/issues/42#issuecomment-1018498412)
[x] https://github.com/tamatebako/dwarfs/issues/23
[x] https://github.com/tamatebako/libdwarfs/issues/96

UPD (Proof of Concept) Ruby 3.x Windows build script with minimal dependencies on DLLs

A script that builds Ruby using native toolchain with minimal dependencies This option is not supported so some patching is required although very limited.

I won't merge this code for now because I am not sure if a simplified approcach (without cmake) can be easily adopted.

windows_setup.zip

UPD (Proof of Concept) A build script for native extension that uses ruby.exe exports

With Windows setup as attached to the previous comment I was able to generate import library pointing to ruby.exe itself instead of ruby dll; and use this library to build native extension.

It seems to be working,
