pickmax: Split and Coalesce Duplicated Records

Deduplicates datasets by retaining the most complete and informative records. Identifies duplicated entries based on a specified key column, calculates completeness scores for each row, and compares values within groups. When differences between duplicates exceed a user-defined threshold, records are split into unique IDs; otherwise, they are coalesced into a single, most complete entry. Returns a list containing the original duplicates, the split entries, and the final coalesced dataset. Useful for cleaning survey or administrative data where duplicated IDs may reflect minor data entry inconsistencies.
