docs: Break lines at meaning boundaries

[krlmlr]

Reformatting only, no wording changes. Prose in README.Rmd, vignettes/mockr.Rmd, and the roxygen and inline comments under R/ now breaks at sentence and clause boundaries rather than wrapping to a fixed width.

The payoff is sentence-level diffs. A reworded sentence touches one line instead of reflowing the paragraph around it, so review sees the change and not the rewrap.

The generation notice at the top of README.Rmd was itself wrapped to a fixed width, so two of its sentences started mid-line. It now carries one sentence per line, keeping the five-space continuation indent, matching the form DBI, dm, igraphdata and wrswoR already have. The notice is copied into the rendered files, so README.md and index.md are re-rendered along with it; the wording is word-for-word unchanged.

Verification

man/ is not edited by hand here. roxygen2 passes source line breaks straight through to the .Rd, and the regenerated files are generated output: CI roxygenises and commits them itself, so they arrive on this branch as an automated commit rather than in the hand-written diff. The rendered help does move, in exactly one way: where a two-space sentence gap was split across lines it narrows to one space. tools::Rd2txt() over the 2 topics whose .Rd changed puts 1 of them in that position — in local_mock.Rd, evaluated. Everything becomes evaluated. Everything. Restoring that gap is what the patched roxygen2 further up the stack does. render_readme() run twice produced byte-identical output.

One paragraph deliberately left unreflowed

R/with-mock.R has a paragraph whose sentences are separated by a double space, and Rd2txt() renders that double space literally. roxygen2 strips leading and trailing whitespace from source lines, so breaking at that sentence boundary collapses the gap to a single space — which changes the rendered help.

Both workarounds were tried (a leading space on the continuation, a trailing space on the first line) and both failed the check, so the paragraph keeps its original wrapping rather than the check being weakened to accommodate it. The third sentence of that paragraph, which has no double space before it, was reflowed normally.

This turns out to affect several packages in the fleet, so it is worth knowing as a general limit rather than a quirk here: wherever the source double-spaces between sentences, that gap is content, and the sentence-per-line rule cannot apply without altering the rendered output.

One consequence is worth stating plainly. A line break which follows the end of a sentence currently renders as one space, not two, so writing one sentence per line drops the sentence gap from the rendered help. Restoring it needs a patched roxygen2, which is a separate decision: it is #106, stacked on top of this chain, and can be taken or left on its own. Without it this change simply renders as the package renders today.

Part of a fleet-wide pass. r-lib/here#195 is the reference PR, reviewed by hand before the rest were run.
