Feature #7886: support gem repository in a directory in the filesystem

I want to install gems from a remote repository which is a directory. Call it
`/foo`. I got the gem files I want, put them in `/foo/gems`, and ran `gem
generate_index -d /foo`.
Now of course I want to install the gems with Puppet. The resource type
reference says about the gem provider for the package type, "If a URL is passed
via `source`, then that URL is used as the remote gem repository." So I write--
<pre>
package { "rails":
provider => gem,
ensure => installed,
source => "file:///foo/",
}
</pre>
But instead of running `gem install --source /foo/ rails`, Puppet tries to `gem
install /foo/`. A look at the source reveals that URLs with the scheme `file`
are always treated as individual gem files, never gem repositories
(source:/lib/puppet/provider/package/gem.rb@9bb30181#L83).
I don't think it ever makes sense to `gem install` a directory. So I'd like to
propose that if I give a `file:` url ending with a slash, it should be treated
as a gem repository, not a gem file.
