v2.3.0 fails on spotfire-rservice container build because R 4.3 is not available from the repo (workaround)

[gmace-tibco]

The docker build fails for the spotfire-rservice because R 4.3 is not available from the repository. R 4.4 is available but is not yet supported for this version of Spotfire. The error shows as this:

Package r-base-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Version '4.3.*' for 'r-base-core' was not found
E: Version '4.3.*' for 'r-base-dev' was not found
E: Version '4.3.*' for 'r-recommended' was not found

There is a workaround by editing the containers/images/spotfire-rservice/Dockerfile so that the default version of R is installed instead of version 4.3. The Dockerfile should be edited, reflected by this diff:

This will result in version R 4.2 being used.
