Validate h2o-3 package on R 4.4

[tomasfryda]

New R version was released, so we should check if the current release is releasable to CRAN and if not fix the issues so that we don't have to fix the package after the release to be able to put it on CRAN.

It would be also nice to run at least some tests to find out that the changes don't break some core functionality (and ideally test this version on jenkins).
