Ruby-Build should support installing ruby and rubygems with zero documentation files.

There are about 60MB of documentation files installed by default into `/usr/local/share/ri/1.9.1/system/`. Ruby-Build should support installing ruby/rubygems without these files.

A use case is installing Ruby automatically on many identically-configured servers. One needs a single copy of the documentation locally, but does not need dozens of copies of the documentation on remote servers. Rather, it would be useful to save on disk space (60MB here, 50MB there, eventually it adds up to a lot).
