Added ruby implemention of Checkers.

Also added my annotated version of the BASIC source code on the off
chance that it would be useful.

The file `checkers.annotated.bas` contains an indented and annotated
version of the source code. This is no longer valid BASIC code but
should be more readable.
## Known Issues In the Original BASIC Code
- If the computer moves a checker to the bottom row, it promotes, but
leaves the original checker in place. (See line 1240)
- Human players may move non-kings as if they were kings. (See lines 1590 to 1810)
- Human players are not required to jump if it is possible.
- Curious writing to "I" variable without ever reading it. (See lines 1700 and 1806)
