Replace `make update` with ruby recipe

Kev Kloss requested to merge kkloss-make-update-to-ruby-recipe into main

What does this merge request do and why?

This MR adds a declarative recipe system within Ruby as replacement for Makefiles for gdk update (and later potentially gdk install and gdk reconfigure). This is the first iteration to Show status spinner instead of logs in gdk update (!3733 - closed) and later even Draft: Parallelize gdk update (!3726).

This should cause no change to the output or behavior of gdk update.

How to set up and validate locally

  1. Check out the branch
  2. Run GDK_SELF_UPDATE=0 gdk update
  3. See that all relevant updates have been performed
