Build a local package and install it into an renv project

Description

This is a wrapper around pkgbuild::build() and renv::install() to more easily make local packages available within renv projects.

The following steps are performed:

2. Moving the built source into the renv cache. The cache location is determined by Sys.getenv("RENV_PATHS_LOCAL").

3. Installing the package from the cache location via renv::install().

Arguments

path	⁠[character]⁠ The path to the package which should be built and installed.
quiet	⁠[logical]⁠ Whether to suppress console output.
...	Passed down to pkgbuild::build().
