[MINOR][R] Add knitr and rmarkdown packages/improve output for version info in AppVeyor tests

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

This PR proposes three things as below:

**Install packages per documentation** - this does not affect the tests itself (but CRAN which we are not doing via AppVeyor) up to my knowledge.

This adds `knitr` and `rmarkdown` per 45824fb608/R/WINDOWS.md (unit-tests) (please see 45824fb608)

**Improve logs/shorten logs** - actually, long logs can be a problem on AppVeyor (e.g., see https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/17873)

`R -e ...` repeats printing R information for each invocation as below:

```
R version 3.3.1 (2016-06-21) -- "Bug in Your Hair"

R is a collaborative project with many contributors.
Type 'contributors()' for more information and
'citation()' on how to cite R or R packages in publications.

Type 'demo()' for some demos, 'help()' for on-line help, or
'help.start()' for an HTML browser interface to help.
Type 'q()' to quit R.
```

It looks reducing the call might be slightly better and print out the versions together looks more readable.

Before:

```
# R information ...
> packageVersion('testthat')
[1] '1.0.2'
>
>

# R information ...
> packageVersion('e1071')
[1] '1.6.8'
>
>
... 3 more times
```

After:

```
# R information ...
> packageVersion('knitr'); packageVersion('rmarkdown'); packageVersion('testthat'); packageVersion('e1071'); packageVersion('survival')
[1] ‘1.16’
[1] ‘1.6’
[1] ‘1.0.2’
[1] ‘1.6.8’
[1] ‘2.41.3’
```

**Add`appveyor.yml`/`dev/appveyor-install-dependencies.ps1` for triggering the test**

Changing this file might break the test, e.g., https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/16927

## How was this patch tested?

Before (please see https://ci.appveyor.com/project/HyukjinKwon/spark/build/169-master)
