l1rotation: Identify Loading Vectors under Sparsity in Factor Models

Simplify the loading matrix in factor models using the l1 criterion as proposed in Freyaldenhoven (2025) <doi:10.21799/frbp.wp.2020.25>. Given a data matrix, find the rotation of the loading matrix with the smallest l1-norm and/or test for the presence of local factors with main function local_factors().
