`Hash#keys` Could Accept a Block

Description

Sometimes I only need to fetch some of the keys from a Hash. With the current Hash#keys implementation, this requires fetching all the keys and then selecting the ones I'm interested in. It would be nice if Has#keys accepted a block, and only returned the keys for which the block evaluated to true.

Currently:

{ 1 => '1', 2 => '2', 3 => '3', 4 => '4' }.keys.select { |key| key.odd? } # => [1, 3]

Proposed:

{ 1 => '1', 2 => '2', 3 => '3', 4 => '4' }.keys { |key| key.odd? } # => [1, 3]

The attached patch shows how rb_hash_keys might be modified to check for a passed block.
