Patch ebuild to not compress databases

The dev-lang/R-3.2.2 ebuild compresses everthing in /usr/share/docs/R-3.2.2 except NEWS.rds.  This includes databases for mirrors and keywords.  R does not read the bzip2-compressed databases.  They should be left uncompressed.

In R, try the following:

> install.packages("anything") # Fails because can't read CRAN mirrors database
> ??anything # Fails because can't read KEYWORDS.db database

Attached is a patch which fixes the issue for me.

I couldn't reproduce your issue but your patch made sense and looked innocent enough, so I rolled it into 3.3.0. Thanks.
