Bundle our own R 4.5.3 instead of building against Arch's R

Browse Source 
Arch ships R 4.6.1, but JASP pins its R packages against a frozen CRAN
snapshot (2026-03-31 for 0.98.1) that targets R 4.5. Configuring against
Arch's R fails at Rcpp 1.1.1, which cannot compile on R 4.6 since
R_NamespaceRegistry was removed; the Rcpp release that fixes it is newer
than the pinned snapshot, so the lockfile cannot reach it either.

Build R 4.5.3 into /opt/jasp-desktop/R and point R_HOME at it, matching
what upstream CI does. This drops 'r' from depends entirely, so an Arch R
upgrade can no longer break an installed JASP, and the rebuild triggers
become Qt6 and ICU - the libraries actually still linked against.

# JASP links against the system R and Qt6 rather than bundling them, and the
# bundled R module library is compiled against one specific R minor. These are
# pinned to what this binary was actually built against — an Arch R or Qt6 bump
# makes pacman refuse the combination instead of leaving JASP silently broken.
# JASP's R packages are pinned by upstream against a frozen CRAN snapshot that
# targets R @BUNDLED_R@, so this package ships its own R at
# /opt/jasp-desktop/R rather than using Arch's. That deliberately keeps `r` out
# of depends: an Arch R upgrade cannot break an installed JASP.
#
# Qt6 and ICU are still system libraries, and both break ABI across releases, so
# they are pinned to the versions this binary was linked against.
