r_base 3.3.0 -> 3.6.3

[Gábor Csárdi]

OK, patch is attached. It has

- a new configure option: --with-internal-tzcode The R Admin manual
claims that this works better than the built-in time zone support.
- a small patch, because the presence of utimensat() function is mis-detected
- added libfreetype6 as a run-time dependency. The solaris version
seems to be 32 bit only

I'll try to build the new 4.0.0 version as well.

Thanks much!
Gabor
