[jira] [Created] (ARROW-14463) [R] Add to the developer guide a section about depending on Arrow

Jonathan Keane created ARROW-14463:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: [R] Add to the developer guide a section about depending on Arrow
                 Key: ARROW-14463
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-14463
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: R
            Reporter: Jonathan Keane


This would give folks who plan on depending on arrow a place to know any of the complexities they might run into when depending on arrow. These shouldn't be many caveats, but some exist.

One that has come up: skipping tests when arrow features are not available. For example, if testing parquet writing `skip_if_not_available("parquet")`. 

Should we include that skip in the arrow package itself? (it's currently in a test helper)
