> See ARROW-7639. R factor "levels" must be strings, but dictionary "values"
> aren't restricted like that. Provide an option to govern how dictionary
> arrays with non-string "values" are converted to R: keep the dictionary
> encoding by making the R vector be type factor and coerce the dictionary
> values to strings, or keep the dictionary values the type they are and
> generate an R vector of that type, dropping the dictionary encoding.
