[GRASS-stats] Windows bundles + proj.db versions

[Roger Bivand]

This issue: https://github.com/rsbivand/rgrass/issues/57 with regard to mismatches between proj.db shipping with GRASS for Windows (both stand-alone and OSGEO4W) and the R terra package used by rgrass, is difficult to handle. GRASS followed OSGEO4W by tracking PROJ slowly, so typically has a version of `proj.db` that is older than those bundled with terra. Something is then getting in the  way in preventing g.proj -w from working. I do not have time to debug this. In addition, GRASS for Windows ships all of PROJ DATA, bloating the GRASS installer unreasonably (R packages using PROJ use the CDN).

Please reply here or in the issue. And do reply, I do not have time to revisit this at all this year.
