Drop support for Ruby 1.9.2 in smart proxy

Development
1

I'd like to drop support for testing Ruby 1.9.2 in the smart proxy,
primarily because we're getting intermittent segfaults on it during tests.

We used to have some platforms (such as Debian Squeeze, IIRC) that
shipped 1.9.2 but we no longer support them. Puppet also didn't support
it officially as 1.9.3 contained lots of fixes.

1.8.7 support would remain, so we'd have 1.8.7, 1.9.3, 2.0.0 and up.

Any objections?

Please do. :slight_smile:

AFAICT, even on Debian/squeeze, Ruby 1.8 was the default. So in the vast
majority of these setups, 1.9.2 was never used.

I've removed 1.9.2 from the matrix.
