test(sess): migrate R unit tests from testthat to tinytest

testthat pulls ~26 transitive packages into the sess Suggests closure,
all installed on every build now that install_local uses
dependencies=TRUE. tinytest depends only on parallel and utils (both
base/recommended), so the migration removes that toolchain while keeping
the unit tests.

Convert tests/testthat/test-ipc.R to inst/tinytest/test-ipc.R. Because
tinytest runs files as flat scripts (no per-test isolation), wrap each
former test_that() block in local() so on.exit() state restoration of
.sess_env still fires between blocks. Move the socket round-trip test
last and guard its environment-sensitive setup in tryCatch, skipping via
return() (exit_file does not halt inside local()) when unix sockets are
unavailable, so it cannot mask or abort the other blocks.

Replace the tests/testthat.R harness with tests/tinytest.R.
