Description

Now that R 4.2 is released, we should bump all of our R versions where we have ones hardcoded.

This will mean dropping support for 3.4 entirely and adding in 4.0 to https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/c4b646e715d155c1f77d34804796864465caa97b/dev/tasks/r/github.linux.versions.yml#L34

There are a few other places that we have hard-coded versions (we might need to wait a few days for these to catch up):

https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/c4b646e715d155c1f77d34804796864465caa97b/dev/tasks/tasks.yml#L1291-L1295
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/c4b646e715d155c1f77d34804796864465caa97b/.github/workflows/r.yml#L60 (and a few other places in that file — though one note: we build an old version of windows that uses rtools35 in the GHA CI so that we catch when we break that — we'll want to keep that!)
