[R][CI] CRAN-style openssl not being picked up

[assignUser]

Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.

We noticed in #41403 that the binary package build doesn't pick up the CRAN mac-recepies openssl. https://github.com/ursacomputing/crossbow/actions/runs/8872579257/job/24357521438#step:16:561

Likely because we switched to gh hosted runners that don't have it installed. See https://mac.r-project.org/bin/

Component(s)

Continuous Integration, R

I believe this is also causing the builds we are hosting to be slightly busted. I just tried installing a nightly on arm64 and found that gzip wasn't enabled.

Which makes sense since we create these binaries after failing to find openssl, but with a minimal build: https://github.com/ursacomputing/crossbow/actions/runs/8891743595/job/24415201349#step:16:72

@assignUser Have you had a chance to figure out what's going wrong here?

Not yet sorry but I think the fix should be easy(tm) I'll have a look overt the weekend.
