GH-43665: [R] Remove references to bindings vignette (#43889)

nealrichardson · web-flow · commit 1ecfb31b7dce · 2024-09-01T19:17:42.000-04:00
### Rationale for this change The writing-bindings vignette was removed in #41576 (comment). It turns out there were more references to it throughout the docs that I failed to remove ### What changes are included in this PR? Deleting x-refs that don't exist anymore. ### Are these changes tested? Not really ### Are there any user-facing changes? The docs won't point you at links that 404. * GitHub Issue: #43665
