In the past CI was adjusted to Require Ruby 2.7 or newer, but we didn't drop the old versions from the gemspec. While it claims to support Ruby 2.5 & 2.6, it doesn't work in reality. This changes fixes this.

Ruby 2.5 was used in puppet AIO 6 / and jruby 9.3 (compatible with Ruby 2.6) in puppetserver 7. Both are EoL since ages.

This mismatch between what we claim to support and what we actually test is very annoying. We could do a minor release now to correct this, or a major one. If we do a major release, we could even bump the lower version to ruby 3.1 (that is the version in openvoxserver 8).

Related: I wonder why 0ee6465 picked 2.6 as the lower bound. Note that was later reverted.

I'd lean to a major version bump, but I'm not sure it's strictly needed now. In #67 we can exclude Ruby 2.5 testing for now.

I think we should keep this open until we need to do a major release
