Enhanced gucc Library: The gucc library has been significantly enhanced, now encompassing refind installation and configuration capabilities.

Clang-Format and Clang-Tidy: Codebase consistency and quality have been improved through the application of clang-format and clang-tidy.
Refactoring with String Views: Several areas of the codebase now utilize string_view literals for improved performance and readability.
Doctest Implementation: C asserts have been replaced with doctest for more robust and informative testing.
Refactored Tests: Test suites have been refactored for clarity and maintainability.
Refind Handling in gucc: Refind-related code has been refactored and moved into the gucc library for better organization and maintainability.

Btrfs Subvolume Detection: Issues with detecting existing btrfs subvolumes have been resolved.
Partition Information Accuracy: Improvements have been made to ensure the accurate collection and display of partition information.
Root Mount Point for Refind: A bug affecting the root mount point used by refind has been fixed.
UUID Detection: The process of detecting partition UUIDs during initialization has been improved.
Meson Build Fixes: Issues encountered during the meson build process have been addressed.
Btrfs Subvolume Appending: A bug related to appending btrfs subvolumes in development environments has been fixed.
Rootfs in Predefined Configurations: An issue with the rootfs of partition schemes derived from predefined configurations has been resolved.
Refind Read-Write Mounting: Ensured that refind mounts the necessary partitions with read-write permissions.

Updated the CPR dependency to a newer version for improved functionality.
Explicitly instructed CTRE (Compile Time Regular Expressions library) to utilize the C++23 standard for consistency and potential performance enhancements.
