rPackages: mark packages as broken when generating package sets
The current behaviour for generate-r-packages.R is to delete packages that have been remove upstream. This patch changes the behaviour to mark packages as broken rather than removing them. This has the advantage of never breaking expressions, which previously occured when a package with overrides in default.nix was deleted. As a result, the update procedure is simplified, allowing automated updates to the package tree to run, and additionally if a package is re-established upstream the previous overrides still exist.
