Summary: Plugin-ize Sourcing/Fetching

Initial Comment:
I would love the ability to extend Rubygems' remote fetcher to handle custom or 
currently unsupported protocols.

In my case, I'd like to be able to build a private, secured internal gems repo 
and being able to add plugins to the RemoteFetcher would be great for this.

As an example, a workable solution might be to check for a Fetcher class 
derived from the scheme -- e.g., "mygems://blah.net" might look for a 
Gems::MygemsRemoteFetcher or something along those lines.

Personally, I would like to install Rubygems via SSH similar to how our private 
git repos function -- doing this as a Rubygems plugin seems ideal.

I'm willing to hack on this idea myself so long as the general concept is 
acceptable to the maintainers.
