rstudio: Fix recompilation issue with custom package set

This attempts to fix the issue described at
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/22219#issuecomment-291801133.
Any change to the custom packages passed to RStudio causes this to
completely rebuild RStudio, which is completely unnecessary and also a
bit of a hindrance as it's a fairly slow build.

This rolls back most of that old PR, and instead implements something
more like rWrapper.  Existing configurations with the old useRPackages
will break.

# rWrapper points R to a specific set of packages by using a wrapper
# (as in https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#r-packages) which sets
# R_LIBS_SITE. Ordinarily, it would be possible to make RStudio use
# this same set of packages by simply overriding its version of R
# with the wrapped one, however, RStudio internally overrides
# R_LIBS_SITE. The below works around this by turning R_LIBS_SITE
# into an R file (fixLibsR) which achieves the same effect, then
# uses R_PROFILE_USER to load this code at startup in RStudio.
