Description
Currently the make_cast_options function in r/src only handles three of the cast options; all others are silently ignored.
**Reporter**: [Neal Richardson](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-17605) / @nealrichardson

Research direction
Start by reading make_cast_options in r/src and compare its handling with the full set of cast options. Done means every supported cast option can be specified through this function instead of being silently ignored.
