AAMVA DL/ID Card Barcode Support

Support for encoding and decoding AAMVA-compliant Driver License and Identification Card barcodes has been added through the new USADriveIdCodetext class. This enables working with the structured data embedded in U.S. Driver License PDF417 barcodes, including:

standardized mandatory fields,
optional AAMVA elements,
jurisdiction-specific subfiles,
automatic subfile construction (types, offsets, lengths),
full parsing and reconstruction of the codetext.

The implementation follows the AAMVA DL/ID Card Design Standard (2025).

Specification: AAMVA DL/ID Card Design Standard (2025)
