RLinuxModules is not compatible with R > 4.1.0

RLinuxModules wants to add bindings to the base environment which is no longer supported since R 4.1.0

The base environment and its namespace are now locked (so one can no longer add bindings to these or remove from these).

This breaks installing RLinuxModules, which is a blocker for deploying new versions of R in powerPlant:
