Fixed an issue with the 32/64 bit versions of R

The R installer delivers the 32 as well as the 64 bit versions of R. I
added a pre_install to r.json to choose the correct version depending on
the user's architecture.

Additionally I added a new shim for 'rterm.exe' to have an alternative
way to start R without removing the 'r' alias in powershell.

Annoying, right?! You might want to check out Pshazz (scoop install pshazz)--this has a plugin to remove some crazy aliases from Powershell, as well as many other improvements.
If you are on a 64-bit machine then R comes in a 32-bit and a 64-bit version. Currently scoop sets the shims depending on your machine's architecture.
