Bug #10664: Undocumented change: rb_str_new from a function declaration to a macro

It seems that code such as this will now break:

result = rb_str_new(FBUFFER_PAIR(fb));

Example impact: https://github.com/flori/json/issues/229

Given the pain likely once people stop eating turkeys and start running code, isn't it worth pulling the 2.2.0 back to a RC until this change is given more time to percolate through the gem ecosystem?
