xmlrectr: Rectangle Arbitrary 'XML' into Analysis-Friendly Tables

Converts arbitrary 'XML' into canonical node tables and analysis-friendly rectangular outputs without requiring a vocabulary-specific parser. Supports conservative structure proposals, explicit reusable profiles, advisory 'XSD' inspection, bounded streaming, 'CSV' and 'Parquet' output, an analyst-oriented single-table projection, and record-level parallel execution with automatic scheduling. The native implementation uses 'libxml2' for structural acceleration while the 'R' implementation remains the semantic reference.
