Add instructions for manually adding key to Renviron #59

A few users lately have reported issues saving to their root .Renviron file, for unclear reasons probably relating to R install location (not related to this package). Add a backup instruction for Mac users to manually open the file from the terminal and paste the key in that way. Find out how to do that on PCs too.

I found this stackoverflow comment which had the path to the Renviron file for macs: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/etc/

This issue was related to general Renviron and file path issues - I haven't heard any concerns about this recently so I'm closing. If it pops again we can reopen.

Finally closing with the correct option!
