Description
Is the minimum version of Ruby we support in Arvados 2.1 going to be ruby 2.3 or ruby 2.5?
Our package build and test pipeline uses Ruby 2.5 from rvm. The last component that was testing with Ruby 2.3 was arvbox, but that's being moved to ruby 2.5. We can only support Ruby 2.3 if there's something in the jenkins pipeline that checks that it actually works.
Debian 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 have Ruby 2.5, so we can continue to recommend installing from packages.
Debian 9 and Ubuntu 16.04 have 2.3. If we require 2.5, the docs need to direct people to use rvm.

Our documentation (https://doc.arvados.org/v2.0/install/ruby.html) states
Minimum of Ruby 2.3 is required. Ruby 2.5 is recommended.
As far as I know that is still correct.
We will be supporting Ubuntu 16.04 until at least April 2021. We will likely stop supporting Debian 9 soon.

So my point above holds, if we continue to support Ruby 2.3, it needs to be used somewhere in the test pipeline.
Right now the Debian 9 and Ubuntu 16.04 package build-and-test Dockerfiles install Ruby 2.5 from RVM. These could be changed to use the system Ruby 2.3 instead. Or we could do something else.
