Summary: and_yield does not work when the arity is -1

Initial Comment:
def foo(bar)
  bar.call {|*args|}
end

bar = mock("bar)
bar.should_receive(:call).and_yield
foo(bar)  # Mock 'bar' yielded || to block with arity of -1

Message:
I attached the patch for fix with its spec.

See spec:
a Mock expectation
- should yield blocks that take a variable number of arguments

and invoke_with_yield in message_expectation.rb

Message:
Right. I feel like this should work.
The block takes a variable number or arguments and I give it
no arguments. In Ruby, I'm able to call a proc that has an
arity of -1 with 0 arguments.

proc {}.call # This works.
proc {||}.call # This works.
proc {||}.call(1) # This does not work.
proc {|*args| }.call # This works.
proc {|arg| }.call # This does not work.

Message:
As I understand it, this is the correct behavior:

irb(main):021:0> proc {}.arity
=> -1
irb(main):022:0> proc {||}.arity
=> 0
irb(main):023:0> proc {|arg|}.arity
=> 1
irb(main):024:0> proc {|*args|}.arity
=> -1

In your example, you are yielding 0 orgs to a proc with an arity of -1.

Am I missing something?
