Update to modernize gems and deps

[samnissen]

Fixes #14

But it got a bit messy, mostly due to my lack of experience crafting gems. Specifically I'll call out:

• jeweler – I don't know it, and so perhaps I'm doing something wrong there.
• I bumped version number, not sure if that's SOP or not.
• I commented out rspec before and after context blocks that aren't being used, but obviously that's a style decision you might want to reverse.
• I originally changed authorship details as I thought that might be SOP, but looking at GitHub's contributors graph I can see that's abnormal.

@90kts Hello. Can this be reviewed? Thanks!

[MacCracken]

if you are still waiting for this I've released watir-performance that is updated version of this repo.

[timkoopmans]

Hey sorry I can't maintain this anymore. @MacCracken @samnissen would either of you two like to take ownership/transfer of this repository?

[samnissen]

@90kts I can take that on. Let me know if you need anything from me to make it happen

[MacCracken]

I’ve already made the newer gem on rubygems... Called watir-performance (https://rubygems.org/gems/watir-performance) so you can just update the readme to point to mine for watir use and archive the repo please. or just give it to me so I can archive it. It makes no sense to continue development on this gem since watir-webdriver is a retired/archived project now too.

@90kts @MacCracken I'm not opposed to that plan, though I believe any successor to this gem should maintain the connection to this repo through a GitHub fork. I'm glad to help pitch in on whatever.
