[R-sig-Fedora] RStudio package maintenance moved to Copr

[Tim Taylor]

Many thanks Iñaki.

Will Quarto get pulled in from your COPR automatically as well or do we 
need to specifically install it before/after?

Also is it worth updating the "add ons" section at 
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/fedora/ as well?
