Include R-package

[Zach Kimberg <za...@gmail.com>]

As part of the current MXNet release process, the R-package is removed from
the source release [1]. If we are advertising that MXNet has an R package
as an Apache project, it really should be part of the official Apache
release process. I know there were a few missing license headers within the
package as it is currently excluded from the license check [2]. If someone
fixes those, are there any other reasons why it can't or shouldn't be
released?
