R devel - Apr 2025 - Better support ESS by allowing choice of CRAN mirror using the `menu-choice` widget

This would allow ESS to be used in a graphical-mode emacs without utilizing
the Tcl/Tk widget, and on non-Linux platforms would allow Emacs to provide
the choice widget rather than Tcl/Tk, Aqua, or whatever Windows does.

I know ESS already has a better interface for installing packages, C-c C-e
TAB, but it'd be "neat" if when I forget to do this and I call
install.packages() without first setting a mirror that either the same
interface would be presented rather than Tcl/Tk, or a widget.el-based
interface was presented.
