[R-SIG-Mac] R does not build out of the box on Ventura

The problem being that devQuartz.c uses a deprecated and now removed 
interface (ATS).

Building with --without-aqua will work.

I am sure that Simon will fix this, but not in time for 4.2.2 which is 
in code freeze.

Note this only affects building: as the CRAN binary distributions are 
built on much older versions of macOS they should continue to build. 
This is purely a heads up for those building from source that they may 
want to delay upgrading to Ventura (but someone needed to to find the 
issue).

For the first time for quite a while, upgrading to Ventura removes the 
Command Line Tools which need reinstalling.
