Feature #11140: Allow rubygems' `require` to handle `autoload` calls
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11140#change-52445

----------------------------------------
Right now, rubygems can't handle calls to `autoload` because `autoload` will directly call `rb_require_safe` rather than sending to `Kernel::require`.

For example:

~~~ruby
class A
  autoload :B, 'a/b' # this is in a different Gem
end
A::B
~~~

The above code won't work because 'a/b' is in a different gem.  I'd like to give rubygems the opportunity to handle requires made through `autoload`.

I've attached a patch that makes the change.
