macOS: Use GMP from homebrew
MRI's BigInt use GMP under the hood if available, and if not fallbacks to an homemade implementation with much worse performance. Without GMP: ``` >> Benchmark.realtime { Integer('1' * (10 ** 7)) } => 13.80743500002427 ``` With GMP ``` >> Benchmark.realtime { Integer('1' * (10 ** 7)) } => 0.4098639999865554 ``` macOS not being a common production platform, it's not a huge deal but it would still preferable to compile with `gmp.h` if present. I'd also suggest to print a warning if compiling on macOS and gmp isn't installed, but I don't know if it's desirable. NB: `--with-gmp-dir` was only added recently, so this will only apply to MRI >= 3.2, as well as rubies on which this flag was backported.
