HTML/extras created on-disk during file-dependency probing

1. Create a new directory/project.

2. Populate that directory

   bookdown::create_bs4_book(".")

3. Add a code-block to index.Rmd so package dependencies are discovered.

   ```{r, include = FALSE}
   library(downlit)
   library(bslib)
   library(xml2)
   ```

4. Render that book locally.

   rmarkdown::render_site(".")

5. Attempt to deploy that directory.

   rsconnect::deploySite(
       siteDir = ".", 
       siteName = "BOOK-TITLE", 
       account = "ACCOUNT_NAME", 
       server = "SERVER_NAME", 
       render = "server")

The deployed bundle contains a libs directory and *.html files that were created as a side-effect of running the packrat snapshot against the directory. These files cause downstream rendering problems.

These files are created by the call to rmarkdown::render:

packrat/R/dependencies.R

Line 665 in 3df1d62

rmarkdown::render(file, output_file = outfile, quiet = TRUE),

The eventual deployment fails with the rendering error:

Tweaking _book/404.html
Error in xml_children(x)[[search]] : subscript out of bounds
Calls: local ... bs4_chapter_tweak -> tweak_navbar -> template_link_icon -> <Anonymous>
Execution halted
Error: bookdown::render_book() failed to render the output format 'bookdown::bs4_book'.

The 404.html file is created as a side-effect of the deploy-time rmarkdown::render call.

Resolved with #647; NEWS appearing shortly.
