Testing the changes

• I tested the changes in this PR: YES

Local build testing

• I built this PR locally for my native architecture, (x86_64)

The only significant build change is:

If the libdeflate library and headers are available, libdeflate rather than libz is
used to (de)compress R objects in lazy-load databases. Typically tasks spend up to
5% of their time on such operations, although creating lazy-data databases is one of
the exceptions.
This can be suppressed if the library is available by the configure option
‘--without-libdeflate-compression’.

I haven't included libdeflate here because as far as I can see no other distro does either.

There are a number of packages that depend on R, mostly the R-cran packages, should I update them here or make a separate PR?

All R needs to be rebuilt if my memory serves. So either update or rebuild them here.
