[SPARK-30733][R][HOTFIX] Fix SparkR tests per testthat and R version upgrade, and disable CRAN

### What changes were proposed in this pull request?

There are currently the R test failures after upgrading `testthat` to 2.0.0, and R version 3.5.2 as of SPARK-23435. This PR targets to fix the tests and make the tests pass. See the explanations and causes below:

```
test_context.R:49: failure: Check masked functions
length(maskedCompletely) not equal to length(namesOfMaskedCompletely).
1/1 mismatches
[1] 6 - 4 == 2

test_context.R:53: failure: Check masked functions
sort(maskedCompletely, na.last = TRUE) not equal to sort(namesOfMaskedCompletely, na.last = TRUE).
5/6 mismatches
x[2]: "endsWith"
y[2]: "filter"

x[3]: "filter"
y[3]: "not"

x[4]: "not"
y[4]: "sample"

x[5]: "sample"
y[5]: NA

x[6]: "startsWith"
y[6]: NA
```

From my cursory look, R base and R's version are mismatched. I fixed accordingly and Jenkins will test it out.

```
test_includePackage.R:31: error: include inside function
package or namespace load failed for ���plyr���:
 package ���plyr��� was installed by an R version with different internals; it needs to be reinstalled for use with this R version
Seems it's a package installation issue. Looks like plyr has to be re-installed.
```

From my cursory look, previously installed `plyr` remains and it's not compatible with the new R version. I fixed accordingly and Jenkins will test it out.

```
test_sparkSQL.R:499: warning: SPARK-17811: can create DataFrame containing NA as date and time
Your system is mis-configured: ���/etc/localtime��� is not a symlink
```

Seems a env problem. I suppressed the warnings for now.

```
test_sparkSQL.R:499: warning: SPARK-17811: can create DataFrame containing NA as date and time
It is strongly recommended to set envionment variable TZ to ���America/Los_Angeles��� (or equivalent)
```

Seems a env problem. I suppressed the warnings for now.

```
test_sparkSQL.R:1814: error: string operators

       methods <- .findInheritedMethods(classes, fdef, mtable)
       if (length(methods) == 1L)
           return(methods[[1L]])
       else if (length(methods) == 0L) {
           cnames <- paste0("\"", vapply(classes, as.character, ""), "\"", collapse = ", ")
           stop(gettextf("unable to find an inherited method for function %s for signature %s",
               sQuote(fdefgeneric), sQuote(cnames)), domain = NA)
       }
       else stop("Internal error in finding inherited methods; didn't return a unique method",
           domain = NA)
   })(list("character"), new("nonstandardGenericFunction", .Data = function (x, prefix)
   {
       standardGeneric("startsWith")
   }, generic = structure("startsWith", package = "SparkR"), package = "SparkR", group = list(),
       valueClass = character(0), signature = c("x", "prefix"), default = NULL, skeleton = (function (x,
           prefix)
       stop("invalid call in method dispatch to 'startsWith' (no default method)", domain = NA))(x,
           prefix)), <environment>)
6: stop(gettextf("unable to find an inherited method for function %s for signature %s",
       sQuote(fdefgeneric), sQuote(cnames)), domain = NA)
```

From my cursory look, R base and R's version are mismatched. I fixed accordingly and Jenkins will test it out.

Also, this PR causes a CRAN check failure as below:

```
* creating vignettes ... ERROR
Error: processing vignette 'sparkr-vignettes.Rmd' failed with diagnostics:
package ���htmltools��� was installed by an R version with different internals; it needs to be reinstalled for use with this R version
```

This PR disables it for now.

### Why are the changes needed?

To unblock other PRs.

### Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?

No. Test only and dev only.

### How was this patch tested?

No. I am going to use Jenkins to test.

Closes #27460 from HyukjinKwon/r-test-failure.
