Description

Refactor ruby binding to use a native Ruby IO driver with the C pn_connection_driver for AMQP protocol support.

Ruby ConnectionDriver - drive a single connection, single threaded

• Use any ruby IO subclass
• Works with native Ruby polling primitives
• Avoids Ruby threading issue with GVL (all IO is done in Ruby)
• Thread safe function injection for MT use.

Client/server examples using native ruby connect, multi-threaded broker example using ruby listen.
