Add attribute to `repos`, for renv users #502

You can check out the approach RStudio takes here: https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/blob/078e21116b0e34aff92addf961699017adb62fc5/src/cpp/r/R/Tools.R#L698

I saw your note here @DavisVaughan. Given that we are unlikely to be able to change this attribute in RStudio, I don't tend to think we will gain much by using IDE or default. If you have a strong opinion otherwise, happy to change this, though!

QA Notes

After this PR is merged and ark is bumped, you will see (edited after code review to change name of attribute):

getOption("repos")
#>                        CRAN 
#> "https://cran.rstudio.com/" 
#> attr(,"IDE")
#> [1] TRUE

Created on 2024-09-04 with reprex v2.1.1

Notice the new attribute.

Once we get this into a release build, we should update at https://github.com/rstudio/renv/issues/1963.
