Adds install_manylinux() and run_install_manylinux() as alternatives to
the RPM/deb path. Downloads pre-built R tarballs from cdn.posit.co/r/
and extracts them directly to /opt/R/{version}/, bypassing the package
manager's dependency resolution.
Requires glibc >= 2.34 (RHEL 10, Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+). Arch is
detected at runtime so the same Containerfile builds on amd64 and arm64.
Allows callers to select which manylinux variant to download from cdn.posit.co/r/. Defaults to "2_34", which covers RHEL 9+, Ubuntu 22.04+, and Debian 12+. Passing a different value (e.g. "2_28") will select the corresponding tarball variant.
Add string-versions case for run_install_manylinux and split the explicit-glibc-version case into a standalone test. Removes the isinstance conditional from the parametrize helper and brings coverage in line with test_run_install.

Re-scoping this off the RHEL 10 (UBI) epic (#575) — that blocker is fixed upstream (rstudio/r-builds#329, merged) and doesn't need this workaround; posit-dev/images-package-manager#104 has been closed accordingly. These macros are still useful on their own merits: the manylinux tarball is self-contained (bundles its non-glibc runtime deps, only requires glibc >= 2.34), which matters for posit-dev/images-volumes' scratch-based images that get copied alone into arbitrary containers. Tracking under a new epic instead. |

FROM scratchand only carry/opt/<tool>— the manylinux tarball is self-contained (bundles its own non-glibc runtime deps, only requires glibc >= 2.34), unlike the deb/RPM path which dynamically links against system libraries that don't survive the copy intoscratch.Closes #747
