Goes together with posit-dev/positron#4703

There are a few differences between what I have in this draft and what .rs.api.versionInfo() returns for RStudio, especially on Workbench.

• Currently mode will be "web" rather than "server" for non-desktop use. I did this because it is what VS Code uses internally throughout. Is it a problem for us to have something different here? See https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/pull/4703/files#r1764143168 We will have mode be "server", for consistency with RStudio.
• There is no edition or release_name, since Positron doesn't have those. The desktop version of RStudio also doesn't have edition.

QA Notes

In the R console, you should see these types of results:

I thought it might be nice to include the ark version here. Thoughts?

See here for what RStudio has for a citation: https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/blob/main/src/cpp/session/resources/CITATION.in

Minor, do you think RStudio should have used https://posit.co/?
