shell_hook = NULL becomes the new default; before it

These file artefacts are now written in a subdirectory
with_nix under tempdir() of the current R
session and all files are deleted. Now, when an expr errors
in a Nix shell evaluation (i.e. custom R function), but had a previous
successful run with a different expr and/or R global
environment state with success and _out.Rds produced, the
current session fails to bring this output into the current R
session.project_path,
now attemps to record sessionInfo() with try.
We found failures of that command under older R versions on Nixpkgs for
macOS (i.e., aarch64-darwin).LD_LIBRARY_PATH.glibcLocalesUtf8 with
gibcLocales (imports all locales). This was necessary to
support Nixpkgs R versions <= 4.2.0, where
glibcLocalsUtf8 derivation was not yet available. We do not
sacrifice reproducibility but rather have larger total sizes of
derivations involved in the subshell (around 200MB extra).nix_build(): consistently separate cmd and
args for nix-build systemrix::init() to initialize and maintain an
isolated, project-specific, and pure R setup via Nix. It accomplishes
this by writing a custom .Rprofile that guarantees R
packages can only be attached from Nix paths, preventing unnoticed
loading from the system’s R user library (R_LIBS_USER and
ensuring runtime purity regarding packages and linked libraries).
Additionally, it appends /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin
to the PATH. Currently, this modification only takes effect
in the current R session and not in new R sessions for RStudio on MacOS.
This is because the default R session is not started from a shell. The
PATH will be modified by RStudio when starting the R
session, effectively after loading the local .Rprofile.
Future versions of RStudio will hopefully respect all environmental
variables from a shell environment.rix::rix(): patch for nixpkgs revisions corresponding
to R (r_ver) <= 4.2.0; nix-build failed
because attribute glibcLocalesUtf8 was not found. Fixed by
importing gibcLocales. Thanks @motorlearner for reporting.Added with_nix(), which can evaluate a function in R
or shell command via nix-shell environment, and return the
output into the current R session. This works for both evaluating R code
from a nix-R session within an other nix-R session, or also from a host
R session (i.e., on macOS or linux) within a specific nix-R session.
This feature is useful to test dependencies and specific setups of
software in controlled environments.
Added tar_nix_ga(), a function to run targets
pipelines on Github Actions using a Nix expression.
rix::rix(): fix missing pkgs.mkShell when
shell_hook = NULL. Both shell_hook = "" and
shell_hook = NULL are now producing valid nix

for the relevant locale variables (LANG,
LC_ALL, LC_TIME, LC_MONETARY,
LC_PAPER, LC_MEASUREMENT) and sets these
environment variables in the Nix shell. These will be correctly
propagated into the Nix R session. Users can modify the locale setting
via
options(rix.nix_locale_variables = list(LANG = "de_CH.UTF-8", <...>),
e.g., but it needs to be an UTF-8 locale. This is because we only import
the glibcLocalesUtf8 subset, to not keep the size
