more heat-cfntools dependency creep

[Matthew Miller]

heat-cfntools pulls ruby into the cloud image :(

We're _really_ trying to get interpretted languages _out_ of there, and
of course we're trying to get the size down overall.

I'm not sure when this started -- I wish I'd caught it before the f21
release.

We should have a nightly test check of some sort which alerts when
new packages are pulled in via dependency to the nightly image builds.

Okay, we can do this in automated way.

The dep actually isn't new, it was added (according to my buddy `git
blame`) 4 months ago in response to this[1] issue because users were
expecting to be able to install gems with cfntools.

You're right that this should have been caught earlier, and a nightly
check would certainly help. Sorry I missed the cutoff getting that build
to stable.

I'm puzzled because I dimly recall the conversation about wanting to add
this and we chose not to? Surprised to see it in after all.

Best,
