handle CRAN submissions closure more elegantly #2700

Description

@robchallen

Just tried to submit via devtools and got a 404 not found with no other info:

Selection: 1
ℹ Uploading package & comments
Error in `httr2::req_perform()`:
! HTTP 404 Not Found.
Run `rlang::last_trace()` to see where the error occurred.

Which is no doubt due to the fact that:

from: https://cran.r-project.org/
CRAN submission are closed from Aug 5, 2026 to Aug 19, 2026 (CRAN team vacation and maintenance work).

It would be nice to have a message that directed the user to check that page if the URL is not found.
