[Rd] directives to explicitely exclude objects from import into namespaces

[Hadley Wickham]

It's difficult to do by hand, but it's not too hard to automate - take
a look at https://github.com/hadley/roxygen3/blob/master/R/auto-imports.r.
It's part of roxygen3, but the code is relatively straighforward and
doesn't depend on much else in the package.
