Ruby stable version

Print the current Ruby stable version.

Example:

$ ruby-stable-version
2.3.1

This implementation has three steps:

• Fetch the Ruby website download page
• Search the HTML to match a link to a download file,
• Extract the version string, such as "2.3.1".

This implementation intentionally uses just shell tools, because we want the script to be as portable as possible.
