Description

Followup to ARROW-3758 / https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/4622. The rtools builds of the C++ library for R Windows do not contain Snappy, which is very commonly used with Parquet files. 

https://github.com/r-windows/rtools-backports/pull/6 is an attempt to build snappy with Rtools. Assuming that can be worked out, adding it to ci/PKGBUILD and setting ARROW_WITH_SNAPPY=ON there may be enough. 

Once this works, we should remove the parquet test skip that PR#4622 added.
