Load package imports in generated shinylive app entrypoint

[JZauner]

Motivation

• The previously generated app.R entrypoint sourced R/*.R and called LightLogWeb() without attaching package imports listed in DESCRIPTION, causing runtime errors in a clean Shinylive environment for unqualified calls like page_navbar() and addResourcePath().
• Ensure exported Shinylive bundles reliably start by preloading the package dependencies the app needs at runtime.

Description

• Added parse_description_field() to parse and clean package names from DESCRIPTION fields.
• Added package_dependencies_for_entrypoint() to extract Depends and Imports from DESCRIPTION and filter out R and the package itself.
• Added build_shinylive_entrypoint() and updated export_shinylive_bundle() so the generated app.R first attaches dependencies with library(..., character.only = TRUE), then sources R/*.R, and finally runs LightLogWeb().
• Expanded unit tests in tests/testthat/test-export-shinylive-script.R to cover DESCRIPTION parsing, dependency extraction/filtering, and that the generated entrypoint includes dependency loading.

Testing

• Added unit tests in tests/testthat/test-export-shinylive-script.R that exercise parse_description_field(), package_dependencies_for_entrypoint(), and build_shinylive_entrypoint() and verify expected output.
• No automated R package tests were executed in this environment because Rscript / package test execution is unavailable, so the new tests were not run here.

Avoid eagerly attaching every import at startup

The generated entrypoint now loads all packages from Depends/Imports before the app starts, so the bundle fails immediately when any listed dependency is unavailable in the Shinylive/WebR runtime (for example, environment-specific or nonstandard packages), even if that package is only needed in a later code path. This turns a feature-scoped dependency problem into a full startup outage for the exported app.
