Support Ruby URL updater for Linux and macOS #2136

Description

@Caylipp

Feature idea

As an IDEasy user, I want the Ruby URL updater to support Linux and macOS, so that Ruby can be installed and updated by IDEasy on all major platforms, not only on Windows.

Additional context

Currently, the RubyUrlUpdater only adds download URLs for Windows x64 using RubyInstaller artifacts.

Linux and macOS support should be investigated and implemented separately, because the current Ruby updater PR focuses on Windows support only.

This issue was requested as a follow-up from the Ruby URL updater PR review.

Suggested scope:

  • Investigate which official Ruby release artifacts are available for Linux and macOS.
  • Check whether suitable downloadable archives exist that can be used by the IDEasy URL updater.
  • Extend RubyUrlUpdater to add supported Linux and macOS download URLs.
  • Add or adapt tests for the new platforms.
  • Keep the existing Windows behavior unchanged.
