  • removes itself from PATH when returning to original ruby.

Changed

• Move HTML documentation to optional install component "Ruby RI and HTML documentation".
• Update to OpenSSL-1.1.1g, libffi-3.3 and gcc-10.2.

  This avoids unwanted/unnecessary up- or downgrades of MSYS2/MINGW packages on "gem install" when a package is already installed and the version meets optional version constraints.
• Update of the SSL CA certificate list.
• Fix a memory leak in DllDirectory.
• Fix vendoring issue of recent MSYS2 system.
