Problem: 
The recent additions of x11/nox11 flavors to graphics/rubygem-image_processing
(and mini_magick4 & ruby-vips) has made it more difficult to only build the
nox11 version of packages.

Proposal:
Extend the flavoring to the rubygem-rails70 port, so that ports that depend on
rubygem-rails can articulate which flavor they want, and it minimizes the total
build. As the PKGNAMESUFFIX is already in use for this port, that same
PKGNAMSUFFIX cannot be passed to rubygem-image_processing. This is because the
build will fail with no port named rubygem-image_processing70-nox11.

Alternative approaches considered:
I considered adding an X11 option instead, but my ideal is that the highest
level port (gitlab, in this case), has the option, and then can specify the
desired flavor on ALL dependent ports to ensure alignment.


I will include two patches - one for the preferred approach, which is to
flavorize rubygems-rails so that it Just Works (tm). The other patch is for the
more unwieldly approach of adding an option that puts the alignment burden on
the user's config.
