In r-lib/depends: Package Dependency Resolution and Downloads

• fulltarget: absolute path to the downloaded file. At most one of fulltarget and fulltarget_tree must exist on the disk.
• fulltarget_tree: absolute path to a package tree directory. At most one of fulltarget and fulltarget_tree must exist on the disk.
• download_status: "Had" or "Got", depending on whether the file was obtained from the cache.
• download_error: error object for failed downloads.
• file_size: Size of the file, or NA. For installed:: refs, it is NA, and it is also NA for refs that created fulltarget_tree instead of fulltarget.

fulltarget, if it exists, contains a packaged (via R CMD build) source R package. If fulltarget_tree exists, it is a package tree directory, that still needs an R CMD build call.
