Description

As a convenance to extension developers Ruby on macOS always links to libobjc. This could be better handled with a native ObjC extension so that one could require 'objc' to add this to the process.

The extension would link to libobjc and provide bindings to objc_msgSend and friends. By not linking to libobjc we can also avoid linking to libc++abi and all that entails.

This makes ruby on mac more similar to ruby when compiled on other platforms.
