Replace devtools dep with remotes

The only use of devtools is to install packages, and there are lighter weight alternatives to that now remotes and ghit. remotes is super lightweight and also comes with remotes::parse_github_repo_spec

This works well enough even for devtools itself: https://github.com/hadley/devtools/pull/1310.

Sweet, that's good to know. I'm a big fan of Gabor's work, and don't think that swapping that in should be too nasty.
