Subject: [PATCH] Limit gem package to lib, license, readme, and changelog

spec.files globs lib/**/*.rb plus LICENSE.txt, README.md, and
CHANGELOG.md instead of using git ls-files, so the gem no longer
ships test/, .github/, flake.*, or rubocop config, and building it
no longer requires a git checkout.

test/gemspec_test.rb builds the gem and asserts it contains exactly
the git-tracked lib/**/*.rb files and the three docs. It fails if an
untracked file under lib/ would be packaged.
