Require Ruby 2.5 for Rails 6.

Generally followed the pattern for https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/32034

* Removes needless CI configs for 2.4
* Targets 2.5 in rubocop
* Updates existing CHANGELOG entries for fewer merge conflicts
* Removes Hash#slice extension as that's inlined on Ruby 2.5.
* Removes the need for send on define_method in MethodCallAssertions.

   # RuboCop has a bunch of cops enabled by default. This setting tells RuboCop
   # to ignore them, so only the ones explicitly set in this file are enabled.
