Rationale for this change

Add a Claude Code skill to guide folks through the CRAN release process, and add .claude/ to the RAT excludes.

What changes are included in this PR?

  • New skill at .claude/skills/r-cran-release/SKILL.md with step-by-step CRAN release instructions
  • Add .claude/* to dev/release/rat_exclude_files.txt
  • Remove the "Prepare and Check Package That Will Be Released to CRAN" section from r/PACKAGING.md (covered by later steps)

Are these changes tested?

No code changes to test.

Are there any user-facing changes?

No.
