vrtstack: Create GDAL Multidimensional VRTs from 2D Raster Collections

Stack 2D rasters (COGs, GeoTIFFs, etc.) along a new dimension, producing GDAL Multidimensional VRT files. This enables treating a collection of 2D rasters as a single multidimensional array, readable by GDAL's multidim API, xarray backends (gdx, xgdal), and other tools. Supports regular axes (start + increment), explicit values, and automatic extraction of dimension values from filenames using regex patterns with optional date/time parsing.
