bug#17057: 24.3.50; [ruby-mode] Font-locking of special global variables like $$ is broken(missing)

I didn’t include them in RuboCop’s code since they actually constitute a different syntactic category according to the parser - a “nth-reference”. I don’t think we should care about this in ruby-mode, though. The patch looks great. Given the fact that Emacs releases are pretty far apart (usually more than 1 year) I think we should include this given that’s if virtually impossible to introduce a regression.
