This PR removes Terrapin's PosixRunner, which relies on the now unsupported posix-spawn gem. Improvements to Ruby (as of Ruby 3.0) means that
posix-spawn
is now less performant than native Ruby implementation. You can read more about this in this posix-spawn issue, specifically this comment.We feel it's no longer necessary to provide posix support as there are no longer advantages over native. Since Ruby 2.x will no longer be supported soon, it's important that we maintain Terrapin to be compatible with the lowest supported version of Ruby.
