setup-r-dependencies reinstalling too many packages?

E.g. https://github.com/cynkra/dm/actions/runs/6242346392/job/16946128599

Reinstalls 76 packages out of about 152.

Same behavior with the second run on a clean cache: https://github.com/cynkra/dm/actions/runs/6252912237/job/16981709927 . .

I can reproduce locally, so will fix very soon.

Yeah, so this is because the installed package has a slightly different platform string than the one in the lockfile:

Browse[2]> installed[["platform"]]
[1] "x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
Browse[2]> solution[["platform"]]
[1] "x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ubuntu-22.04"

OTOH, we could also use this:

Browse[2]> installed$remotepkgplatform
[1] "x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ubuntu-22.04"

But for a package installed from CRAN we only have this, and we should handle this as well:

Repository: CRAN
Date/Publication: 2022-01-31 13:39:41 UTC
Built: R 4.3.1; x86_64-pc-linux-gnu; 2023-09-21 14:53:54 UTC; unix
RemoteType: standard
RemotePkgRef: tiff
RemoteRef: tiff
RemoteRepos: https://cloud.r-project.org
RemotePkgPlatform: source
RemoteSha: 0.1-11

Or, a package installed from CRAN with install.packages() has this:

Repository: CRAN
Date/Publication: 2022-01-31 13:39:41 UTC
Built: R 4.3.1; x86_64-pc-linux-gnu; 2023-09-21 14:56:06 UTC; unix

and of course packages installed from PPM will have this with:

Repository: RSPM

Should be in tomorrow's pak devel build, in about 7-8 hours.
