starburst: Seamless AWS Cloud Bursting for Parallel R Workloads

A 'future' backend that enables seamless execution of parallel R workloads on 'Amazon Web Services' ('AWS', <https://aws.amazon.com>), including 'EC2' and 'Fargate'. 'staRburst' handles environment synchronization, data transfer, quota management, and worker orchestration automatically, allowing users to scale from local execution to 100+ cloud workers with a single line of code change.
