apacheGH-38906: [R] Improve Windows CI configuration (apache#38927)

### Rationale for this change

The Windows/R-devel job is causing CI to fail on many PRs that are unrelated to Windows/R-devel. We also have some outdated version numbers in the Windows action.

### What changes are included in this PR?

The version for Windows was updated to "release", which should keep it current without explicit maintenance (since clearly we had forgotten to update the version numbers ourselves 😬 ). The devel version was removed because (1) it is failing and won't stop failing until an upstream PR to cpp11 is merged and (2) it's unclear to me that this check adds anything useful (we already test r-devel in another commit-level job). It may have dated from a time that r-devel on Windows was much different than r-release (it no longer is).

### Are these changes tested?

Yes

### Are there any user-facing changes?

No
* Closes: apache#38906
