Incorporates the following:

- migrates back small change to gems:build:force from bfc1609a to finish closing #2266.

- unrolls to_proc calls in gems.rake, to match the change in master.

- fixes #2722 by passing the options hash to dependencies during build. (includes a test)

- fixes #2721 by loading the specification directly in from_directory_name. Adds an option to opt-out of specification loading when needed (in gems:refresh_specs, for instance). Includes tests.

- fixes #2679 by refreshing specs for all frozen gems rather than just gems loaded from the environment.

- fixes #2678 by passing the options hash to dependencies during unpack.

	This is still not completely done and there might be pointers to things that don't exist yet.

  * Tests can be run in isolation
  * Dependencies added
  * A few tests modified to avoid depending on AS deps 
    not depended on my files they were testing

If you have a frozen gem with unfrozen dependencies (for instance if the
dependency has native extensions so can't be frozen) you can have a
nightmare upgrade problem, where you cannot rake gems:install, because
rake is broken by a gem loading problem.

If you bump up your frozen gem to a newer version that requires a newer
dependency, everybody else on the team will have rake broken by that
dependency mismatch, since you will have had to specify the dependency
in your config.gems, otherwise nobody will have installed it, since the
parent is frozen. And now the config.gems loading code will kill rake.
