RFC: Migration to R 4.0

[zkamvar]

During the June Maintainer meeting, we asked for comments and experiences with the migration to R 4.0 so that we could create guidance for maintainers and instructors. We have drafted a short blog post (carpentries/carpentries.org#830) to be released next week (2020-08-03) that describes our recommendations for migration. You can find a preview of the blog post here. Please look over the blog posts and make comments by 2020-07-30 so that we can incoroporate any changes before the post goes live.

To help identify the differences between R 3.6 and R 4.0, I have run this lesson in both versions and posted the results that show the differences in output chunks and entire markdown files.

Looks like lessons 7, 10, and 12 have factor coercion issues.
