[R-pkg-team] Bug#1070009: r-cran-data.table: Update to current upstream

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

The file 'issue_563_fread.txt' appears to be an input to data.table::fread()
for a test on encodings, glancing at the context.

I can run 'R CMD check --as-cran data.table_1.15.4.tar.gz' just fine [1] here
without any failing tests (and I have no locale or anything set). It's not my
package but if I were you the natural step would be a combination of pausing
the offending tests and filing an upstream issue notifying upstream that you
had to do so. It is now a pretty active team so you may get some help from them.

[1] I also have a local R env.vars set to report timing issues at lower thresholds
than CRAN itself (to be aware for the packages I (co-)author so I get a bit
more line noise:
