gha - adapt renv cache saving to new actions/cache@v4

`save-always` is deprecated, and now it needs to be a two step process: restore and save

based on adaptation at r-lib/actions/setup-renv in r-lib/actions@108c7a6

gha - new cache does not allow overwrite

and it does not deal with skipping existing cache.

So it is a bit different that `save-always`. Cache will only be updated when renv.lock changes
