I looked into this some more.  Even if I restore the hack to make
Gem::Version::Requirement exist, the other refactorings to
Gem::Version (e.g. the addition of the segments attribute) will break
when old gems are unmarshalled.

We need to either fully handle backward compatibility with old gems,
or roll back the refactorings to Gem::Version which change the
marshalled format.
