Done!  I rebased onto master and pushed to r-wip.

Many of the commit messages were incomplete (didn’t mention all changed
inputs) and used the wrong heading “gnu: Update r-foo to 1.2.3.” instead
of the more greppable “gnu: r-foo: Update to 1.2.3.”.

You can save yourself some time in the future by using
./etc/committer.scm; I strongly recommend it for R package upgrades.
(First commit all package additions manually, then run
./etc/committer.scm for all the updates.)

I have manually rewritten the commit messages.

There are some open questions: the changes to r-mutationalpatterns
invalidate the comment

   ;; These two packages are suggested packages

above r-bsgenome-hsapiens-1000genomes-hs37d5 and
r-bsgenome-hsapiens-ucsc-hg19.  Would be good to adjust the comment or
to move it down.

I also saw that r-rsubread fails to build.
