Make Gem Dependency Optional

#824

This patch allows a gem dependency be specified as optional. If an optional gem is missing, it will only print a warning rather than abort on start.


    config.gem 'qrp', :optional => true

    Actually, here's the updated patch that merges my old patch, #8994.

    And by THAT I mean #814 Initializers aren't run on gem dependency failure.

    I wish I could delete comments.

    I'm -1 on this. What is "optional"? Also, how does this relate to the "development" flag on ruby gems (added in 1.2.0, see gem install --help). See comments on rails core mailing list...

    Staling out, let me know if this is still an issue.
