Bugfixes and documentation improvements

Bugs
Bug fix: addressed #251

Enhancements to documentation and parameter handling:

• Added detailed descriptions to the documentation of combineRDBESDataObjects and createRDBESDataObject, clarifying behavior when combining or importing objects with different hierarchies and how to specify which hierarchy to use. [1] [2] [3]
• Improved the handling and documentation of ... (ellipsis) parameters in createRDBESDataObject, providing clear guidance for users on strictness, verbosity, and hierarchy selection.

Validation and warning logic for mixed hierarchies:

• combineRDBESDataObjects now checks for and warns (or errors, if strict=TRUE) when combining objects from different hierarchies, preventing accidental creation of structurally invalid objects. combineRDBESDataObjects should be more explicit in the handling of multiple hierarchies #242

Improvements to ID table creation:

• Enhanced createTableOfRDBESIds now coded in data.table, with more robust merging logic for different lower hierarchies, added informative console output, and clarified handling of special cases (e.g., BV table merges depending on hierarchy). [1] [2]
