Provide an `rbenv install` example and explanation lower down, so that
both folk that are following git install and Homebrew install will
finish at the same section and learn how to use ruby-build.
Also remove step 6 of manual install process: `rbenv rehash`. It's
unnecessary at that point, even if they already did `rbenv install`
(which rehashes automatically).
Fixes#455, closes#456
Don't suggest that they add to their `.profile` anymore because:
1. They would have to restart the desktop session for their change to be
reflected, or source the file manually;
2. An error in `.profile` may prevent logging in;
3. The `rbenv()` shell function and shell completions won't be available
in Terminal since it doesn't start bash in login mode by default.
Therefore, suggest that they use `.bashrc` instead. This will be
immediately reflected in a new Terminal tab. If bash is started in login
mode somehow, the default `.profile` is set up to source `.bashrc` anyway.
Also, don't suggest restarting the shell environment with
`exec $SHELL -l`, since we don't know what was the original mode that
their shell was started in. (OS X Terminal.app will be login mode,
Ubuntu Terminal has non-login mode by default.) Mode can be checked with:
* bash: `shopt -q login_shell`
* zsh: `[[ $options[login] = "on" ]]`
But since this is gnarly, let's just avoid it altogether and go the
easy route.
Closes#305, fixes#373, reverts #286
If `rbenv init -` outputs `.` in place of `source` and that gets eval'd
by the desktop manager via `~/.profile`, it chokes and prevents the user
from logging in.
Fixes#457
ksh syntax becomes:
function rbenv {
typeset command
`typeset` only declares a local variable if there's an explicit
`function` declaration; otherwise the variable leaks.
Other shells use this syntax:
rbenv() {
local command
This is for dash compatibility, which supports neither `function` nor
`typeset`.

readlink comes from GNU coreutils. On systems without it, rbenv used to
spin out of control when it didn't have readlink or greadlink available
because it would re-exec the frontend script over and over instead of the
worker script in libexec.
Fixes#389
