SelectBoost.FDA: SelectBoost-Style Variable Selection for Functional Data Analysis

Implements 'SelectBoost'-style variable selection workflows for functional data analysis. The package provides FDA-native design and preprocessing objects for raw curves, spline-basis expansions, Functional principal component analysis scores, and scalar covariates; grouped stability-selection routines based on repeated subject-level subsampling; multiple selector backends including lasso, group lasso, and sparse-group lasso; FDA-aware grouping functions and calibration helpers for 'SelectBoost'; method-comparison utilities; a formula interface; simulation, benchmarking, and validation helpers with mapped ground truth; targeted sensitivity-study utilities and shipped benchmark summaries for mean 'F1' comparisons between FDA-aware and plain 'SelectBoost' workflows; small example datasets; and an optional adapter to the native stability-selection interface from the 'FDboost' package.
