Version 0.0.9 gemini breaking changes

This new version changes the Gemini namespace. Everything is now under the same Net::Gemini namespace. If you just used this gem as per the documentation, nothing changes for you. However, if you were using some hidden part of the Gemini API, you will probably have to make some changes.

Here are all the changes:

Old names New names
Net::GeminiRequest Net::Gemini::Request (still 'net/gemini/request')
Net::GeminiBadRequest Net::Gemini::BadRequest (require 'net/gemini/error')
Net::GeminiResponse Net::Gemini::Response (still 'net/gemini/response')
Net::GeminiBadResponse Net::Gemini::BadResponse (require 'net/gemini/error')
Net::GeminiError Net::Gemini::Error (require 'net/gemini/error')
Net::Gemini.new Net::Gemini::Client.new (directly required as part of 'net/gemini')
Gemini::ReflowText Net::Text::Reflow (no more expected to be included, but directly called)
Gemini::GmiParser - (directly integrated into Net::Gemini::Response)
Gemini::SSL - (directly integrated into Net::Gemini::Client)
