GH-49330: [R] Update docs to reflect removal of OpenSSL 1.0 and 1.1 support
(#49331)
### Rationale for this change
The R package documentation still references OpenSSL 1.0 and 1.1 binary
variants, but support for these older versions has been removed.
### What changes are included in this PR?
- Update minimum OpenSSL version requirement from 1.0.2 to 3.0
- Update LIBARROW_BINARY possible values to reflect current binaries
(linux-x86_64, linux-aarch64) instead of deprecated openssl-suffixed variants
### Are these changes tested?
Documentation only.
### Are there any user-facing changes?
Documentation clarification only.

everything from source, the install script will check for the presence of these
dependencies and turn off S3 and GCS support in the build if the prerequisites
are not met--installation will succeed but without S3 or GCS functionality. If
afterwards you install the missing system requirements, you'll need to
