Create a single build combining the separate container builds #35

Several of the current builds have a large number of common dependencies.

There are several solutions to factoring out the common dependencies, but there is a similar argument for creating a consolidated build.

The consolidated build is quicker to generate so this will be prioritized and have more of the look and feel of a native (OS level) R installation.

The consolidated build should run Rscript by default, and be named "rscript".

It should also be possible to run the container interactively as if runnning "R" on the command line, likely also differentiated from a native install by using lower case for the command.
