Feature request to add a `bundler-version` property to the `core18` Ruby plugin to pin bundler versions and prevent build failures due to unpinned bundler requiring newer Ruby. Issue is triaged (Status: Triaged, Type: Enhancement) with an internal Jira ticket created (CRAFT-3234). No implementation found in current codebase.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: The issue is triaged with an internal Jira ticket (CRAFT-3234) and represents a legitimate enhancement request. While core18 support has been removed from the main snapcraft codebase (commit 40136ea9b), the issue may still be relevant for users on older snapcraft versions (7.x track) who build core18 snaps. The feature would require adding a new property to the Ruby plugin and implementing version pinning logic, which is a moderate complexity task. No evidence of implementation in the current codebase.

Issue body

### What needs to get done Allow users to pin the bundler to a specific version. ### Why it needs to get done The Ruby plugin allows specifying a version of Ruby but always grabs the latest version of the bundler. The bundler requires a minimum version of Ruby, so previously building snaps can fail to build due to an unpinned version of the bundler.
