Add GitHub Actions workflow to deploy R documentation (#2470)

* Add GitHub Actions workflow to deploy R documentation

This workflow builds and deploys the R documentation site from
the graphing-library-docs repository to this repo's GitHub Pages.

The workflow:
- Runs weekly (Sundays) to pick up docs changes
- Can be triggered manually via workflow_dispatch
- Can be triggered via repository_dispatch from the docs repo

The docs source lives at cpsievert/graphing-library-docs and includes
documentation for both plotly.R and ggplotly.

* Try sleeping in shinytest test for relayout size stability
