editline instead of readline in R-4.2 and R-4.3 builds

FYI, in case this was not intentional. G.

? R-4.1-arm64 -q -e 'extSoftVersion()["readline"]'
extSoftVersion()["readline"]
readline
   "5.2"

? R-4.2-arm64 -q -e 'extSoftVersion()["readline"]'
extSoftVersion()["readline"]
readline
"4.2 (EditLine wrapper)"

? R-4.3-arm64 -q -e 'extSoftVersion()["readline"]'
extSoftVersion()["readline"]
readline
"4.2 (EditLine wrapper)"
G?bor,

thank you very much for testing, this is a good catch. The readline library was missing from the build machine. I was doing a clean re-build of the image and readline5 is not part of the r-base-dev recipes group (since it is optional) so it was not included in the automated setup. Now added manually.

Thanks,
Simon
