Description

Umbrella Ticket for the work related to serving multiple versions of R docs

The Python, Java and C++ documentation have support for serving multiple versions of the docs and switching between them thanks to the newly added version switcher. The same doesn't apply to the R docs as they are not implemented in Sphinx and thus can't benefit from the version switcher implemented for Sphinx.

We should provide an equivalent version switcher for the R docs.
