Applies the intent of #286 to the whole R package.

#286 updates one README link from joyent/libuv to libuv/libuv. That link is already fixed on main's README, but the same stale URL still lives in the R docs. I swept every URL in the non-vendored files (src/libuv/ and src/http-parser/ excluded) and fixed the ones that are dead or redirect:

File Before After
R/httpuv-package.R, man/httpuv-package.Rd github.com/joyent/libuv github.com/libuv/libuv
README.md http://www.rstudio.com/ide/docs/packages/prerequisites Posit support article (old URL redirects)
CONTRIBUTING.md help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/reference/pull-requests
R/random_port.R http://superuser.com/... https://superuser.com/...
tests/testthat/test-static-paths.R httpstatuses.com/304 (406) httpstatuses.io/304

Note on #286's premise: github.com/joyent/libuv isn't actually dead — it's an archived repo that returns 200 and does not redirect. The change is still right (point at the canonical, maintained repo), just not for the stated reason.

Skipped: .github/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md (vendored Contributor Covenant boilerplate; only trailing-slash redirects) and everything under src/libuv/ / src/http-parser/ (upstream vendored code).

Docs/comments only — no code behavior changes.

Applies the intent of #286 (joyent/libuv -> libuv/libuv) to the rest of
the package:

- R/httpuv-package.R, man/httpuv-package.Rd: joyent/libuv -> libuv/libuv
- README.md: dead rstudio.com prerequisites doc -> Posit support article
- CONTRIBUTING.md: help.github.com -> docs.github.com
- R/random_port.R: superuser.com http -> https
- tests: httpstatuses.com (406) -> httpstatuses.io
