caretMultimodal: Multimodal Late Fusion with 'caret'

Extends the 'caret' framework to support late fusion workflows, enabling users to train models independently across multiple data modalities and combine their predictions into a single meta-model. Designed for developers, data scientists, and biomedical researchers alike, 'caretMultimodal' aims to make late fusion ensemble modelling as accessible and flexible as single-dataset workflows in 'caret'. Late fusion methods are based on Wolpert (1992) <doi:10.1016/S0893-6080(05)80023-1>.
