Description
Now that we're starting to write R documentation in qmd files we need R to be installed in the build workers for the render to work.
Otherwise you'll get an error
ERROR: Error executing 'Rscript': No such file or directory (os error 2)
It doesn't matter if you freeze or eval:false the dependency is there even if you don't execute code blocks.
Documentation for what we need is https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-actions/blob/main/examples/example-03-dependencies.md
