Request to release 2.2.1 to fix JRuby

[yaauie]

Sinatra 2.2.0 (released on 2022-02-15) is broken on JRuby (#1749).

A much-appreciated quick follow up fix was merged (#1750) less than a week later, along with adding JRuby to the CI matrix (#1755), but ~50 days have passed and the latest available release on JRuby is still broken.

Is it possible to get a 2.2.1 release cut including these changes?

@namusyaka we might have to just cut a 3.0 release unless you think we should branch off the 2.2.0 tag and create a 2.2.1 release?

It would be disappointing to have the last release in the 2.x series be permanently broken on JRuby, especially when fixes were available so quickly after its release. While Logstash currently pins to 2.1.0 to avoid the issue, we have a lot of old releases in the wild whose plugin manager automatically pulls in this broken Sinatra when our users update other plugins.

@namusyaka I ported the patches to a 2-2-stable branch. Hopefully it's all set for you to cut a 2.2.1 release.
