Add in-tree mspec and ruby/spec
* For easier modifications of ruby/spec by MRI developers. * .gitignore: track changes under spec. * spec/mspec, spec/rubyspec: add in-tree mspec and ruby/spec. These files can therefore be updated like any other file in MRI. Instructions are provided in spec/README. [Feature #13156] [ruby-core:79246] git-svn-id: svn+ssh://ci.ruby-lang.org/ruby/trunk@58595 b2dd03c8-39d4-4d8f-98ff-823fe69b080e
