revdep_check() pausing for binary vs. source install

[kevinushey]

When running a revdepcheck for reticulate:

> revdepcheck::revdep_check(num_workers = 4)
── INIT ─────────────────────────────────────────────────── Computing revdeps ──
── INSTALL ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 2 versions ──
Installing CRAN version of reticulate
also installing the dependencies ‘jsonlite’, ‘rappdirs’, ‘Rcpp’


  There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
           binary source needs_compilation
reticulate   1.13   1.14              TRUE

Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation? (Yes/no/cancel)

I think in this case revdepcheck should always be installing from sources if the binary version is older.

That's often problematic is that system requirements are not available. Nevertheless you can make your own choice by setting the corresponding option or env var. See install.packages.compile.from.source in ?options.

I do think we should override the default value of "interactive" just so that you can start revdep checks without having to worry that they're interrupted by a prompt. I think this could be an argument to revdep_check().

Also check discussion in #233 to make sure that it succeeds either way.
