[SPARK-22281][SPARKR] Handle R method breaking signature changes ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? This is to fix the code for the latest R changes in R-devel ``` hecking for code/documentation mismatches ... WARNING Codoc mismatches from documentation object 'attach': attach Code: function(what, pos = 2L, name = deparse(substitute(what), backtick = FALSE), warn.conflicts = TRUE) Docs: function(what, pos = 2L, name = deparse(substitute(what)), warn.conflicts = TRUE) Mismatches in argument default values: Name: 'name' Code: deparse(substitute(what), backtick = FALSE) Docs: deparse(substitute(what)) Codoc mismatches from documentation object 'glm': glm Code: function(formula, family = gaussian, data, weights, subset, na.action, start = NULL, etastart, mustart, offset, control = list(...), model = TRUE, method = "glm.fit", x = FALSE, y = TRUE, singular.ok = TRUE, contrasts = NULL, ...) Docs: function(formula, family = gaussian, data, weights, subset, na.action, start = NULL, etastart, mustart, offset, control = list(...), model = TRUE, method = "glm.fit", x = FALSE, y = TRUE, contrasts = NULL, ...) Argument names in code not in docs: singular.ok Mismatches in argument names: Position: 16 Code: singular.ok Docs: contrasts Position: 17 Code: contrasts Docs: ... ``` With attach, we need to match the signature of base::attach, since it changes we are going to generate the signature at runtime by pulling from base::attach directly. With glm it's pulling in the function definition (ie. "usage") from the stats::glm function. Since this is "compiled in" when we build the source package into the .Rd file, when it changes at runtime or in CRAN check it won't match the latest signature. The solution is not to pull in from stats::glm since there isn't much value in doing that (none of the param we actually use, the ones we do use we have explicitly documented them) ## How was this patch tested? Manually. - [ ] check on other platform, r-hub, on r-devel etc..
