dbProject: Database Connection Management and Utilities for 'dbverse'

Provides an R6-based project container for managing 'DuckDB' connections, reconnecting lazy database tables after session restarts, and storing metadata for database-backed objects used by packages in the 'dbverse'. The package supplies S4 base classes and generics for database-backed data, helpers for validating 'DuckDB' connections and table names, utilities for creating persistent database views, and methods for writing and restoring pinned lazy tables through the 'pins' package. These tools help package authors and analysts keep database paths, cached connections, and table references synchronized across interactive sessions and project directories.
