Description
Add the possibility to trigger the R garbage collector on the server side by calling gc(), as a complement of the rm() function (called by rmDS).

Vcells 3576174 27.3 8388608 64.0 4930149 37.7
Bonus is to return the output of gc: it is not disclosive, and it may be useful for the user.
This would encourage good memory management practices on the R server side, for a better usage of the shared system resources.
