deli: M-Estimation and Empirical Sandwich Variance Estimation

Solves estimating equations to obtain M-estimators together with empirical sandwich variance estimates, providing a general interface for both custom and built-in estimating equations. Built-in equations cover basic statistics, regression, causal inference, survival analysis, measurement error, and more. An 'R' port of the 'Python' library 'delicatessen' described in 'Zivich et al. (2022)' <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2203.11300>.
