Unless explicitly specified as a prerelease dependency, prerelease gems that dep_or_name
depend on will not be installed.
If c-1.a depends on b-1 and a-1.a and there is a gem b-1.a available then c-1.a, b-1 and a-1.a will be installed. b-1.a will need to be installed separately.
Installs the gem and returns a loaded Gem::Specification
for the installed gem.
The gem will be installed with the following structure:
@gem_home/ cache/<gem-version>.gem #=> a cached copy of the installed gem gems/<gem-version>/... #=> extracted files specifications/<gem-version>.gemspec #=> the Gem::Specification
