Add `Hash#fetch_values`

Description

I'm proposing to add a new method Hash#values_at! that's basically a combination of #values_at and #fetch.

When dealing with configuration I prefer to use #fetch to fail early and this would be useful to read multiple keys at a time.
An example (not strictly on a Hash, but you get the idea) could be:

repo, token = ENV.values_at!('GITHUB_REPO', 'GITHUB_TOKEN')

ENV.values_at!('INVALID') # raises KeyError

# not sure if that useful, but I provide it here for the sake of completeness
ENV.values_at!("SHELL", "INVALID") { |k| k + " is missing" } # => ["/bin/bash", "INVALID is missing"]

Another name for this could be #fetch_at, perhaps.

P.S. I'm attaching a patch that was done using mostly trial and error
