Csaba Henk 83474887ed ruby: change value of 'readonly' drive toption to Boolean in doc/example/test
Seeing `g.add_drive_opt :readonly => 1` allows one to imply
that ensuring writable access to drive should happen via
`g.add_drive_opt :readonly => 0`. However, the passed option
value gets passed down to C according to Ruby Boolean semantics,
that is, any value apart from `false` and `nil` will be true
(see RTEST in Ruby C API).

So its more idiomatic and provides a better hint if we use
`g.add_drive_opt :readonly => true` in Ruby samples.
