[rubygems/rubygems] Allow releasing with a rubygems pre version

This condition is too restrictive in my opinion. If a user has a pre
version of rubygems installed, she should be fully responsible for it,
and we shouldn't restrict any functionality.

Also, why is a new prerelease disallowed but an old prelease allowed, or
why is 2.0.0.rc2 explictly whitelisted? I believe this kind of
exceptions are one more reason to actually permit this.
