revdep rerun

[mattdowle]

Rerun with latest master to see the impact of #2734. @MarkusBonsch was very careful to make no breaking changes. Then I continued in the PR and did change a few things; e.g. now retaining the i column type when mismatch types are joined.

• corpustools slightly relaxed .set_ops_arg_check #3820
• KRIG R CMD check rerun ok (it open chrome tabs / resource / conflict when parallel check)
• VIM copyAsPlain() #3805, retain NA in character when joining to factor #3810
• REIDS removed from CRAN 08/31
• neatRanges order -> forder optimization follow up #3817
• rbi.helpers order -> forder optimization follow up #3817

37 of the 39 Bioc are also error/warning with v1.12.2. So those are unrelated to data.table. This is the log for those 37 : fail.log
39 - 37 = 2 which could be related to data.table :

• LowMACA; rerun with 1.12.3 passed all-OK. Runs slow with cpu pauses so feels like internet download / resource issue when it ran with other packages in parallel. Like KRIG.
• maser; same: just notes on rerun. Similar cpu inactivity so probably internet download in examples/vignettes.

Dear maintainers,

We're working on releasing data.table 1.12.4 and have run R CMD check on your package with the new version to check the impact. But your package is already showing an error or warning with the current release 1.12.2. I think these are unrelated to data.table but it makes my job harder when these packages are already in error/warning status. In some cases I have been emailing you for several years about this.

The reverse dependency checking process is logged and discussed here: #3581

Dear 3 maintainers,

I'm working on releasing data.table 1.12.4 to CRAN and checking all packages which use it (922 reverse dependencies including Bioconductor) to check for any impact. Your package is already in warning or error status on CRAN with the last release (1.12.2). So it's harder for me to spot errors or warnings that the data.table update causes when your package is already showing error or warnings. Please could you fix these and update on CRAN.

https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_optiSel.html
https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_SpaDES.core.html

For background info, and your entertainment, the revdep check process is logged here: #3581

There's no rush, and this isn't holding up release.

Thanks, Matt
