mdbr: Work with Microsoft Access Files

Work with Microsoft Access '.mdb' and '.accdb' files using the open source 'MDB Tools' library <https://github.com/mdbtools/mdbtools/>. The library is compiled and bundled with the package, so no external installation is required. Provides high-level helpers for reading tables, exporting to CSV or JSON, inspecting table definitions, and running SQL queries. Also exposes a full read-only 'DBI' interface for use with standard database workflows.
