chef migrate-gems - brings in any user-specific versions from old ~/.chefdk/VERSION directories by reinstalling them in the new chef-dk, and then removing the old directories.

This issue is entirely dependent on implementing chef/chef-dk#530 with ~/.chefdk/0.8.0/gems/

Research direction

Start by reviewing chef/chef-dk#530 and the existing ~/.chefdk/VERSION directories, including ~/.chefdk/0.8.0/gems/. Confirm how user-specific gems should be identified and reinstalled by chef migrate-gems; done means the new ChefDK has those gems and the old version directories are removed.
