[setup-r]: macOS: unlink pre-installed pkg-config (#953)

* Add debug to R-devel workflow

[ci skip]

* Include brew output

[ci skip]

* macOS: try to unlink pre-installed pkg-config

It conflicts with the new pkgconf version that
we are trying to install, and which should be
the default going forward.

#948

* Update NEWS

* Update npm deps for setup-r

Removed source map, for CodeQL.
I can't please it otherwise...

* Still need older ncc

Hopefully this'll be enough.

* Patch generated file manually

Wow.

* Hand-edit generated file for CodeQL
