We need to patch our internal Ruby to include the fix from https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/4505

We should patch both ruby 2.5/2.7, build puppet-runtime packages for WIndows and confirm long paths work by running Dir.mkdir with a long path (over 260 chars) on a machine with MAX_PATH registry keys updated with increased value. (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=cmd#enable-long-paths-in-windows-10-version-1607-and-later for guide)
