linf: L-Infinity Normalization and Dominant Community State Types

Implements L-infinity normalization for compositional matrices, assigns samples to dominant features, constructs truncated and hierarchically refined dominant community state types, and computes representative landmark profiles. The methods are described in the accompanying publication <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2503.21543>. Bundled vaginal and gut microbiome data support reproducible demonstrations of the package interface; phenotype fields in the stratified gut subset are illustrative and are not suitable for population-level inference.
