Some users (most notably Spring users with generated bin files) are
passing Arrays as values in the hash to
Gem.paths=
. This commitrestores support for Array values but issues a deprecation warning. The
point is to warn people about their broken code, but allow RubyGems to
continue to work, thus reducing "upgrade friction".
@drbrain I'm not sure about the deprecation cycle, so I just added a deprecation message. In what version should we drop support for this?
