Aaron Patterson 307388ea19 [ruby/fiddle] Add a "pinning" reference (#44)
* Add a "pinning" reference

A `Fiddle::Pinned` objects will prevent the objects they point to from
moving.  This is useful in the case where you need to pass a reference
to a C extension that keeps the address in a global and needs the
address to be stable.

For example:

```ruby
class Foo
  A = "hi" # this is an embedded string

  some_c_function A # A might move!
end
```

If `A` moves, then the underlying string buffer may also move.
`Fiddle::Pinned` will prevent the object from moving:

```ruby
class Foo
  A = "hi" # this is an embedded string

  A_pinner = Fiddle::Pinned.new(A) # :nodoc:

  some_c_function A # A can't move because of `Fiddle::Pinned`
end
```

This is a similar strategy to what Graal uses:

* rename global to match exception name

* Introduce generic Fiddle::Error and rearrange error classes

Fiddle::Error is the generic exception base class for Fiddle exceptions.
This commit introduces the class and rearranges Fiddle exceptions to
inherit from it.
