Bug #11206: short file name match incompatibility

----------------------------------------
When I develop a foo.gem, my working diretory has foo.gemspec and foo.gem.
If I run `gem install -l foo`,  it fails as following:

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::Package::FormatError)
    package metadata is missing in foo.gemspec

Because gem command tries to traverse the current directory with Dir["*.gem"],
and it include *.gemspec.


Another example, Rakefile has `rake clean` task and it is specified by CLEAN constant.
if I specify CLEAN.include( "*.gem" ), it removes *.gemspec.
