Add a simple function to install upstream dependencies without RStudio addin

[danielinteractive]

Yesterday I could not use RStudio, so tried to use staged dependencies just from the R console. However I did not find the function to call quickly to install upstream dependencies. Also looking at the output from the addin: it seems like there is no quick simple function call that one can use.

Generally I would recommend to get a bit more independent of the RStudio IDE so that also users from other IDEs or console can use staged.dependencies nicely.

staged.dependencies is independent of RStudio IDE. They provide functions to do everything the plugin can do and more.

Here are the docs: https://openpharma.github.io/staged.dependencies/reference/index.html

And here's my wrapper around staged.deps that I use on a daily basis in VSCode:

staged.install <- function(package) {
  staged.dependencies::install_deps(staged.dependencies::dependency_table(package))
}

where package is the system file path to the package being installed.

EDIT: There's also a short tutorial on using staged.dependencies in console: https://openpharma.github.io/staged.dependencies/#console

Thanks @kpagacz ! That is a nice start. I would suggest then to add something like staged.install() directly to the package.
