R-latest.pkg link returning a 403 Forbidden error

Hey Simon (et al),

I setup a 2x daily link checker job for mac.r-project.org. It outputs tabular results to https://rud.is/mac-r-project-links/ (timestamp at top is when the job ran). One table is for HTTP HEAD results and the other is for HTTPS HEAD results since the server doesn't auto-upgrade HTTP to HTTPS which could mean different status codes depending the underlying config.

It's also configured to send me a pushover notification for anything but 200 return status code an I'll post here or privately when you give me the go-ahead to do that (since it cld take a bit to fix the below :-).

Right now, the following links have non-200 status codes:

- 404 http://mac.r-project.org/mavericks/R-3.4-branch/R-3.4-branch-mavericks-signed.pkg
- 404 http://mac.r-project.org/RSwitch-1.1.dmg
- 404 http://mac.r-project.org/RSwitch-1.2.tar.gz
- 404 http://mac.r-project.org/RSwitch-1.1.tar.gz
- 403 http://mac.r-project.org/el-capitan/R-3.6-branch/R-3.6-branch-el-capitan-sa-x86_64.tar.gz

Lemme know if I can do any more monitoring/alerting for the site.
