Shim install.packages()

[coatless]

With webR v0.2.2, there is now a shim for install.packages().

https://docs.r-wasm.org/webr/latest/api/r.html#shim_install

This requires calling the installation during the setup routine.

webr.evalRVoid("webr::shim_install()")

So, we'd avoid getting an error like:

> install.packages("jsonlite")
Error in install.packages("jsonlite"): 
  This version of R is not setup to install source packages
If it was installed from an RPM, you may need the R-devel RPM

@jimjam-slam Psst, install.packages() should also now redirect over to webr::install() :)
