Target a specific version of R with `with` param of `r-lib/actions/setup-r` #22

Why

Two reasons:

Lock a version that works. Without with, the R version might simply be the latest. What works on the "latest" now may not work on a future "latest" version.
Lock a version whose results can be reproduced on a contributor's machine (e.g., Arthur's). This might mean to favor the currently installed version. This will enable local replication of errors that might arise.
