    ARROW-15819: [R] R docs version switcher doesn't work on Safari on MacOS
    
    Updates the code used in the version switcher to be compatible with Safari, 
and adds extra docs to the version switcher.
    
    Recommendations for reviewing this PR:
    * You could try building the pkgdown site locally, but the problem there is 
that the code for constructing the URLs for the dropdown doesn't actually work 
when loading the page from a file like that
    * What I do is navigate to a deployed page (I used 
https://arrow.apache.org/docs/3.0/r/ as there is no version dropdown on that 
version of the docs) and then open us the JS console in my browser and copy and 
paste the contents of extra.js into there - you'll then see the dropdown appear 
and can check the links point to the correct places
    * The thing we want to check for on this PR is that the dropdown is 
generated in Safari on MacOS - it wasn't before due to an incompatible regex
    
    Closes #12819 from thisisnic/ARROW-15819_version_safari
