Removing automatic arity-checking for Java-based Ruby methods broke some users' test suites that expected ArgumentError to be thrown; without a manual arity-check, the target methods now tried to access the incoming vararg array blindly and raised Java index errors. This was reported as #7851.
This fixes the issue by restoring arity-checking by default and providing an opt-out flag that we and users can use to indicate that the Java code will check arity manually.
