🗒️ Run slow functional tests on the oldest Ruby we support (2.5) and the latest Ruby.

🗒️ I had to upgrade the rubocop gem to support TargetRubyVersion: 2.5. The new version migrated the names of some cops, hence the changes in these configs.

🗒️ No longer needed, since we no longer support Ruby < 2.1.

🗒️ RuboCop flagged this as an unnecessary require (the Thread constant is always available without needing to require it.)

🗒️ RuboCop thinks this is a typo, and that we mean false and not :false. However in this case :false is the name of a command we are executing via SSH, not a boolean value.

This PR drops support for support for Ruby 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4. This aligns us with SSHKit, which already dropped support for Ruby < 2.5 earlier this year: capistrano/sshkit#549. If you are still using one of these old versions of Ruby and would like to use Airbrussh, you can explicitly install an older version like this: ``` gem install airbrussh --version 1.5.3 ```

This PR drops support for Ruby < 2.5 for the following reasons: 1. These versions of Ruby have been EOL for over 5 years. 2. SSHKit (which Capistrano depends on) dropped support for Ruby < 2.5 earlier this year: <capistrano/sshkit#549>. 3. GitHub recently removed the `ubuntu-20.04` runner, which means we can no longer test old versions of Ruby in CI. For users that want to use Capistrano with an old version of Ruby, they can explicitly install a compatible version like this: ``` gem install capistrano --version 3.19.2 ```

Already, the latest version of the sshkit gem is no longer installable on Ruby 2.2 or older. See #548.
Rather than add workarounds to the sshkit code to restore compatibility with old versions of Ruby, we've decided to officially drop support for them.
This PR drops support for Ruby 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4. For reference, Ruby 2.4 was officially EOL'd 4 years and 9 months ago (31 Mar 2020), so it is not unreasonable for us to drop support in 2025.
If users wish to use the sshkit gem on an old version of Ruby, they can still do so by installing an older version. For example, 1.22.0 works on Ruby 2.2.
