Feature request: add print options

[pawelru]

As a user of setup-r-dependencies (that makes use of sessioninfo package)
In order to better analyse the logs
I would ask to include print of the options used - in particular: repos but I guess there are few more that are relevant in the process of installing dependencies (e.g. pkgType) so it would probably make sense to print them all.

I think this would be better fixed elsewhere.

pak adds some repos automatically, so I guess it would make sense to print the repo status in setup-r-dependencies, e.g.

❯ pak::repo_status()
# A data frame: 12 × 10

As for all the options, try this action:
https://github.com/r-hub/actions/tree/main/platform-info
Something like this will be part of the next generation of r-lib/actions as well.

Thanks for the reply and for the hint. I will give a try. Shall I close it here and open a new one in r-lib/actions then?

[gaborcsardi]

I'll move it over there.
