[ruby/json] Workaround rubygems $LOAD_PATH bug

Ref: https://github.com/ruby/json/issues/647
Ref: https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/6490

Older rubygems are executing `extconf.rb` with a broken `$LOAD_PATH`
causing the `json` gem native extension to be loaded with the stdlib
version of the `.rb` files.

This fails with

```
json/common.rb:82:in `initialize': wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 0) (ArgumentError)
```

Since this is just for `extconf.rb` we can probably just accept that
extra argument and ignore it.

The bug was fixed in rubygems 3.4.9 / 2023-03-20
