Subject: [ruby-core:61158] RFC: some --with-static-linked-ext fixes

(going on a tangent from https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9579)

git://80x24.org/ruby.git static-ext
http://bogomips.org/ruby.git/patch?id=a1c2758e2f742

 * ext/extmk.rb: requires the .rb if the .rb and .so have the
   same prefix (e.g. socket.rb vs socket.so).
   Use rb_provide(feature) if feature.so is loaded and feature.rb
   does not exist
 * ext/openssl/extconf.rb: preload stringio.so
 * ext/psych/extconf.rb: preload stringio.so
 * load.c (ruby_init_ext): check rb_provided and use rb_provide

Note: tests remain broken because mathn/complex and mathn/rational
are loaded by default.  I don't know what to do about this, define
a new, special API for hooking `require' on static-linked-ext?

Or define an internal (but accessible via Ruby) methods
to call nurat_canonicalization and nucomp_canonicalization
so there's no .so even in the dynamic case?

Part of me wants to avoid adding more .so for Init_ things like
this anyways (e.g. require "fiber").
