Update bulletin board to 0.24 for Ruby 3.1 compatibility

[ahukkanen]

🎩 What? Why?

After the Ruby 3.1 upgrade (#9449) the decidim-elections gem is broken under some OSes because bulletin board does not support OpenSSL 3.0 as explained at #9626.

The underlying reason was the jwt dependency which just released a new version 2.5.0 with OpenSSL 3.0 support. This is shipped with bulletin board 0.24.0. And problems fixed with 0.24.1.

I had a many problems updating bundler to 2.3.x and/or rubygems to 3.3.x, so I decided to perform a "conservative" upgrade with the old currently locked bundler version by running:

$ gem install bundler -v 2.2.31
$ bundle update --conservative decidim-bulletin_board voting_schemes-dummy voting_schemes-electionguard jwt

This is the only way I got the build to pass both locally and in the CI.

I tried many things for updating bundler and the "system" gems at the CI running gem update --system but all my attempts failed and the CI just could not get the generator tests to pass. Locally running the same specs I had no problems running with SIMPLECOV=true or without that, both worked locally but not in CI.

I believe either bundler 2.3.x or rubygems 3.3.x have some bugs that are causing the gem installations to fail.

---

For search engines and for further inspection, the errors that I encountered had the following kind of error messages:

• uninitialized constant Gem::BundlerVersionFinder (NameError)
  • This happens after running gem update --system && gem cleanup before running bundle install in the CI
  • There are several references found searching online that this should be fixed by running gem update --system && gem cleanup before bundle install but this was exactly what I was doing and this error still persisted
• undefined method `doc_dir' for nil:NilClass while the spec installation was trying to run gem install *.gem at the root of the repo (this worked when running it manually outside of the spec but running it within the spec did not work)
  • This happens after running the "conservative" gem updates + gem update --system && gem cleanup before running bundle install in the CI
  • Further inspection showed that installing decidim, decidim-accountability and decidim-admin worked but it failed when installing decidim-api because it was trying to install rack which was already installed during the previous gem installations (and therefore doc generation fails because the spec variable is nil for already installed gems)

For further information, both of these issues happened under RubyGems 3.3.21 + Bundler 2.3.21.

Another note is that I found this issue still running Bulletin Board under OpenSSL 3.0:
decidim/decidim-bulletin-board#294

This still needs to be merged and released before we can get the ruby client working under OpenSSL 3 that Decidim is depending on.

LGTM 👍🏽
Do you think we should merge with develop just to be sure @ahukkanen, as this PR wasn't updated on the last month?

[andreslucena]

Nevermind my last comment. I've just seen that we have conflicts to resolve, can you do that @ahukkanen?

[andreslucena]

Tried it locally as a final check and it doesn't give the SSL error anymore.
LGTM 👍🏽
