Build R binary packages — build_binary

Builds binary packages from a given URL for a specific architecture. Git tags are used to determine all possible versions to build.

System dependencies are automatically installed through pak.

The function also automatically archives older versions into an Archive/ directory to keep only the most recent one in the repository root.
