v7.0.00 - Full GNU Awk (gawk) extension support 🎉

Jawk 7 is a major milestone: beyond POSIX AWK, Jawk now supports the full set of gawk
language extensions and built-in functions — enabled by default, with a strict --posix
mode when you want the standard and nothing else. Scripts written for gawk now run on
Jawk, on the JVM, unchanged.

🚀 gawk language extensions

• BEGINFILE / ENDFILE special rules, together with the nextfile statement and the
  ERRNO and ARGIND special variables, with gawk-compatible semantics for unreadable
  files, FILENAME/FNR handling, and hook restrictions
  by @bertysentry in #515
• @include, @namespace, typed regexp literals (@/re/), and indirect function calls
  (@f()) — including namespaced indirect calls dispatching user-defined, built-in, or
  extension functions
  by @bertysentry in #533
• gawk-compatible array and scalar typing — untyped function arguments stay untyped
  until used, with gawk's runtime diagnostics for invalid array/scalar contexts
  by @bertysentry in #534

🧰 gawk built-in functions (now all implemented)

• Array sorting and type introspection: asort(), asorti() (with all
  PROCINFO["sorted_in"] comparison modes, also honored by for (i in a)), typeof(),
  isarray(), mkbool(), and gensub()
  by @bertysentry in #504
• The remaining gawk builtins: systime(), mktime(), strftime(), strtonum(),
  patsplit(), and the i18n interface (bindtextdomain(), dcgettext(),
  dcngettext()) — plus honest SYMTAB and FUNCTAB
  by @bertysentry in #527

🖥️ CLI and POSIX conformance

• Handle -- and - per POSIX, and pass unknown options through to ARGV like gawk
  by @bertysentry in #526

⚡ Performance and internals

• Cache compiled dynamic regexps in the runtime
  by @bertysentry in #514
• Refactor built-in function dispatch to an enum switch
  by @bertysentry in #506

🏗️ Build

• Standalone POM: no more dependency on org.metricshub:oss-parent
  by @bertysentry in #513
