In pkgbuild: Find Tools Needed to Build R Packages

#' Is Rtools installed?
#'
#' To build binary packages on windows, Rtools (found at
#' \url{https://CRAN.R-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/}) needs to be on
#' the path. The default installation process does not add it, so this
#' script finds it (looking first on the path, then in the registry).
#' It also checks that the version of rtools matches the version of R.
#' `has_rtools()` determines if Rtools is installed, caching the results.
#' Afterward, run `rtools_path()` to find out where it's installed.
#'
#' @section Acknowledgements:
#'   This code borrows heavily from RStudio's code for finding Rtools.
#'   Thanks JJ!
#' @param debug If `TRUE`, will print out extra information useful for
#'   debugging. If `FALSE`, it will use result cached from a previous run.
#' @return Either a visible `TRUE` if rtools is found, or an invisible
#'   `FALSE` with a diagnostic [message()].
#'   As a side-effect the internal package variable `rtools_path` is
#'   updated to the paths to rtools binaries.
