sysreqr: Preflight Checks for 'R' Package System Requirements

Queries maintained system requirement sources, reports missing system packages, and generates installation commands, 'Dockerfile' snippets, 'GitHub Actions' steps, administrator request templates, and diagnostic reports from failed installation logs.
