highdir: Backend-Agnostic Figure Builder for 'highcharter' and 'ggplot2'

Provides a backend-agnostic 'API' for creating data visualizations using 'highcharter' (interactive) or 'ggplot2' (static). Figures are defined once via a specification object and can be rendered to either backend without modifying the calling code. Supports both declarative and layered workflows, flexible theming and colour palettes, optional 'JavaScript' enhancements, and tools for exporting figures and interactive exploration via a 'shiny' app.
