Generate R pkg to ingest plumber api from swagger spec / Generate plumber.R from swagger spec

@blairj09 suggests to have the ability to automatically create a small R package to ingest all plumber api routes given to the plumber router swagger spec

• Roxygen comments could be created automatically.
• Function parameters could be created automatically
  • Parameter validation / coercion? (as.character / stop if not numeric)
• Function name should corresponds to route path
• Add comments as details in the roxygen comments
• Insert #TODO for function body

With the same idea in mind, a function could be made to generate a plumber.R file from a swagger api file spec.

---

Since it is a clean separation of functionality, these implementations could be done in another R package.

This idea would close the gap from just being able to provide an R api and to being able to ingest external R execution naturally.

AFAIR @richfitz generates an R client using a swagger spec in https://github.com/richfitz/stevedore - maybe he has some pointers about this idea.

That'd be awesome. Looking to be using openapi spec v3.x down the road.
