Update .rs.api.versionInfo to describe the mode where Positron is running an R session

[petetronic]

Some R packages today depend on metadata from .rs.api.versionInfo() to determine whether a session is running in desktop or server, and whether it is a professional edition product. Positron will need to offer a compatible way to determine this information.

Example output from Workbench + RStudio session:

> .rs.api.versionInfo()

Note: Positron also currently passes information to a kernel to describe if the session is supporting a notebook. We should be careful to reconcile terminology here.

A stub for this appears to be here, but is currently stale: https://github.com/posit-dev/ark/blob/0.1.117/crates/ark/src/modules/rstudio/rstudioapi.R
