MINOR: [R][CI] Fix backwards compatibility job issue for R<6 (#49862)
### Rationale for this change
The R backwards compat job was failing for R versions 5 and 6 because the
job couldn't install testthat. This is due to the recent breaking change in
the `fs` package related to libuv dev headers.
### What changes are included in this PR?
- Cherry-picked 5903161 (maint-24.0.0-r) to add a fallback for R<6.
### Are these changes tested?
Yes, separately in https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/49859.
### Are there any user-facing changes?
No.
