Positron .Rmd files, chunks unable to run when extension enabled, but rmarkdown::render() works #10

Description

@c-westhoven

After enabling the extension R syntax on Positron, my .Rmd chunks "disappear" / are not able to run.
I have the quarto extension installed in order to run chunks in my .Rmd files (but not quarto itself installed)

With R-syntax extension enabled:
Extension Enabled

I get the error: Cannot execute code because there is no registered runtime for the 'rmd' language.

With R-syntax extension disabled:
Extension Disabled

I'm guessing R-syntax overrides the quarto chunk availability.

Ideally, I want to have the easy access to rmarkdownrender from R-syntax, and the possibility to run code chunks at the same time.
