(devel/R-remotes) Updated 2.4.0 to 2.4.2

# remotes 2.4.2

* Gábor Csárdi is now the maintainer.
* `bioc_version()` now points to the most recent (2021-10-27) Bioconductor
  release, `v3.14` (@stufield, #664).

* Fix regex to handle user names in URL in `git_remote`, add
  regression tests (@achimgaedke, #646).

# remotes 2.4.1

* pkgbuild is no longer accidentally loaded even in standalone mode (#548)
* The internal GitHub token used to increase rate limits has been regenerated.
* Using `remote_package_name.git2r_remote` now passes credentials when
  looking up the package `DESCRIPTION` (#633, @rnorberg)

* Using `remote_package_name.git2r_remote` and
  `remote_package_name.xgit_remote`, http responses returning an
  invalid `DESCRIPTION` or that redirect to another page will now
  fallback to return `NA` instead of throwing an error when trying to
  parse the unexpected content (#628, @dgkf).

* Clarify `github_pull()` documentation (@ms609 #640).

Log message:
(devel/R-remotes) Updated 2.3.0 to 2.4.0

# remotes 2.4.0

* Re-license as MIT. (#551)

* skip tests for `download.file(method = "internal")`, on R > 4.1,
  since that method is now defunct on those versions.

* `system_requirements()` now works as intended if only the `os`
  argument is used (@mdneuzerling, #609)

* `remote_package_name.git2r_remote` and
  `remote_package_name.xgit_remote` now get correct package name from
  HTTP(S) git repo's `DESCRIPTION` file, and thus package's
  `DESCRIPTION` file's `Remotes` field could have
  `git::http(s)://<host>/<username>/<repo>[.git][@ref]` items that
  install remote packages using git via HTTP(S) protocal (@niheaven,
  #603).

Log message:
(devel/R-remotes) Updated 2.2.0 to 2.3.0

# remotes 2.3.0

## Major changes

* `Install_*()`  functions will  no longer  fail by  default if  there
  warnings from `install.packages()`. Concretely  the default value of
  `R_REMOTES_NO_ERRORS_FROM_WARNINGS` has  changed to `true`  from the
  previous value of `false`. (#403)

## Minor improvements and fixes

* `install_bioc()` now respects the environment variable
  R_BIOC_VERSION, and will use the git branch corresponding to this
  Bioconductor version (@bbimber, #580).

* remotes without package names are now unconditionally installed
  (#532, @jakubkovac)

* It is now possible to specify a custom host for dependencies listed
  in the `DESCRIPTION` file with `Remotes:
  <type>[@host]::<username>/<repo>[@ref]`. The `ref` now \ 
supports `/`
  in it for `GitLab` repositories as it did for
  `GitHub`repositories. (@dagola, #448)

* Internal `package2remote()` function now supports local remotes created by pak.

* `github_pat()` will now check if `GITHUB_TOKEN` is set if it cannot
  find `GITHUB_PAT`. (@coatless)

* `system_requirements()` now supports querying released packages as
  well as development dependencies (#545)

* `system_requirements()` now supports OS name + version in the `os`
  argument (#549, @krlmlr).

Log message:
(devel/R-remotes) Updated 2.1.0 to 2.2.0, make test does not pass yet

# remotes 2.2.0

##  New functions and features

* New `system_requirements()` function to query the Public RStudio Package \ 
Manager for system requirements for a package (and its dependencies)

* Remotes functions can now install dependencies from additional DESCRIPTION \ 
fields, e.g. passing `dependencies = "Config/Needs/website"` will \ 
install the dependencies listed in the `Config/Needs/website: ` field in the \ 
package's DESCRIPTION.
  Prefixing fields with `Config/Needs` allows them to pass `R CMD check` without \ 
a NOTE, so it is the recommended format for these extra dependencies.

* `install_*()` family of functions now use the default branch in the \ 
repository, not the `master` branch (@MyKo101,#508).

## Minor improvements and fixes

* Internal functions `remote_download()`, `remote_metadata()`, \ 
`remote_package_name()` and `remote_sha()` are now exported, so 3rd party \ 
packages could provide methods for new remote types (#509, #56)

* Internal functions `add_metadata()`, `github_remote()` are now exported. They \ 
are mainly for 3rd party extensions and should not be used by most users (#485).

* `install_version()` now keeps searching subsequent repositories for the \ 
requested version, rather than failing if the version it finds in an early \ 
repository is unsuitable. (#305, @kenahoo)

* `install_version()` now understands specifications like '>= 1.0' or '>= \ 
1.12.0, < 1.14' to install the first version of the package it can find that \ 
satisfies the criteria. (#305, @kenahoo)

* `install_version()` now avoids use of `base::url()`, as prior to R 3.6.2 it \ 
had a bug when downloading large files (#463)

* `parse_submodules()` internal regular expression is now PCRE 2 compatible \ 
(#502, @jan-glx)

* `update_packages()` argument `force` has been deprecated and no longer has any \ 
effect (#521)

* Another fix for the mixed binary and source dependency issue, it should \ 
hopefully be fully squashed now (#296)

* The upgrade menu is now interruptible in RStudio (#489).

* Internal GitHub functions now correctly handle cases when characters are not \ 
representable in the default locale, but are representable in UTF-8 (#492).

# remotes 2.1.1

## Minor improvements and fixes

* Installing mixed binary and source dependencies when the latest versions of
  some packages do not have binaries yet should now install dependencies in the
    correct order to prevent load failures (#296)

* `github_error()` now also works when a GitHub (Enterprise) server does not
  return information about the rate limit (@dpprdan, #396, #413).

* `install_gitlab` passes the `quiet` argument on to `gitlab_pat` \ 
(@michaelchirico, #437)

* `remotes` is now resilient against installed packages that declare
  `RemoteType: standard` but do not include a `RemoteRepos` or `RemotePkgType`
    field. In such a case, the values for `getOption("repos")` and
      `getOption("pkgType")` will be used (respectively).

* `install_gitlab()` now installs from repositories in subgroups and with dots
  in their name. `subdir` is now an explicit argument instead of implicit in
    `repo` (@robertdj, #259, #420).

* `install()` now passes the ellipsis `...` to `install_deps()` \ 
(@Neil-Schneider, #411)

* The tests have been updated to work with newer versions of callr and R 4.0
