MINOR: [R] Add the explicit mirror to install R dependencies (#48649)
### Rationale for this change
Otherwise, it complains that the mirror has to be manually set in, e.g.,
R profile.
Should be best to make it self-contained.
### What changes are included in this PR?
This PR fixes the R dev guides
(https://arrow.apache.org/docs/4.0/r/articles/developing.html) to
provide an explicit mirror when downloading related dependencies.
### Are these changes tested?
Manually tested when setting up the dev.
### Are there any user-facing changes?
No, dev-only.

+Once you've built libarrow, you can install the R package and its
dependencies, along with additional dev dependencies, from the git checkout
like below. You might need to either pick and set a repository interactively or
you could add a repository to the `install.packages()` command with
`repos="https://cloud.r-project.org"`.
```{bash, save=run}
popd # To go back to the root directory of the project, from cpp/build
pushd r
-R -e "install.packages('remotes'); remotes::install_deps(dependencies = TRUE)"
+R -e 'install.packages("remotes"); remotes::install_deps(dependencies = TRUE)'
R CMD INSTALL --no-multiarch .
```
