ruby: register grpc_rb_sStatus as a global variable (#36125)
Ref: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20311
C global variable that contain references to Ruby object MUST be declared to the Ruby GC to prevent these objects from being collected or moved.
There are a few exceptions to that, such as classes defined using the C APIs such as `rb_define_class` etc.
Up to Ruby 3.4 however, there was a bug that caused classes created from Ruby with the `Struct.new("Name")` API to also be marked as immortal and immovable.
GRPC has been relying on this bug, which I fixed in Ruby 3.4, and now GRPC is crashing when `Struct::Status` is moved around by the GC.
