- Remove expired ruby 1.6 ports.
- Remove expired ruby18_static port that depends on ruby16

Replace ugly "@unexec rmdir %D... 2>/dev/null || true" with @dirrmtry

Approved by:    krion@
PR:             ports/88711 (related)

The slippery pthread support for systems prior to 502102 has been
dropped and the lang/ruby16_r and lang/ruby18_r ports have been
removed, since no one seems to appreciate the partially working
solution.

Good news is that the pthread support of lang/ruby18 is now enabled by
default for newer systems, which means the ruby interpreter is linked
with libpthread.  This will allow threaded extension libraries to run
and work properly on those systems.

The --march=cputype flag is disabled because it gets ruby to
malfunction and fail to build.  I don't know if the problem is in
libpthread or in gcc.

(It really makes me wonder if they had actually tested before asking
me to do this somewhat risky change ;-)

Change the default version of ruby to 1.8 for i386 as well, finally.

Always put a version suffix to the ruby name (no matter if ruby is the
default version) to avoid mess in future.

[Notes for i386 users]

If you are a ruby developer and still want to stick with ruby 1.6 as
default, please add RUBY_DEFAULT_VER=1.6 to /etc/make.conf.

If you are a ruby developer and want to keep ruby 1.6 as default,
please add RUBY_DEFAULT_VER=1.6 to /etc/make.conf.  Otherwise, please
run the following series of commands to migrate to ruby 1.8:

  1) Reinstall portupgrade manually (and ruby 1.8 will be installed)
