C++ interface to Rubys C API

Rice is a C++ header-only library that serves dual purposes. First, it makes it much easier to create Ruby bindings for existing C++ libraries. Second, it provides an object oriented interface to Ruby's C API that makes it easy to embed Ruby and write Ruby extensions in C++. Rice is similar to Boost.Python and pybind11 in that it minimizes boilerplate code needed to interface with C++. It does this by automatically determining type information allowing Ruby object to be converted to C++ and vice versa.
