GH-48461: [R][CI] Migrate Azure pipelines to GitHub actions

[raulcd]

Rationale for this change

We have been consolidating our CI to use GitHub actions during the last years. There are only a handful of CI jobs on Azure pipelines and all of them are R related. From a maintenance perspective using a single UI or having to update less secrets when we need to update them is easier.

What changes are included in this PR?

Remove all the jobs that where using Azure pipelines from our crossbow tasks.yml workflows.
Migrate them to a new r_extra.yml workflow that will be executed following the same pattern as CPP Extra or Linux Packages.
Some cleanup for unnecessary Azure macros now that there are no Azure pipelines on crossbow tasks.

Are these changes tested?

Yes via CI.

Are there any user-facing changes?

No

@jonkeane I've only moved to the R Extra workflow the old Azure jobs as the original issue was only to move from Azure to GitHub the Azure jobs. I am happy to tackle some of the other R jobs to be moved to the R Extra workflow on a follow up PR if that's what we want to do.

@jonkeane @thisisnic I plan to merge this in the next hours. The current Azure nightlies are failing due to some S3 bucket problems, the issues are solved on GitHub actions. It was approved by Kou several weeks ago. Just giving a heads up in case you want to take a look after it is merged.
