> Add {{Node.toMap()}} for converting XML node trees to nested Maps, and {{XmlParser.parseTextAs()}} / {{parseAs()}} for typed XML parsing via Jackson databinding.
> Three levels of support:
> * `node.toMap()` — zero-dependency conversion to `Map<String, Object>`, usable standalone
> * `node as MyType` — coercion via `toMap()` + Groovy's named-param constructor (works for String-typed properties, no additional deps)
> * `parser.parseTextAs(Type, xml)` — full typed conversion (String→int, boolean, etc.) plus `@JsonProperty`/`@JsonFormat` support; requires `jackson-databind` at runtime, throws clear error if absent
> Also adds {{XmlRuntimeException}} and an internal {{JacksonHelper}} utility using reflective access to avoid a compile-time Jackson dependency on {{groovy-xml}}.
> {code:groovy}
> static class ServerConfig {
>     String host
>     int port
>     boolean debug
> }
> def config = new XmlParser().parseTextAs(ServerConfig, '''
>     <server>
>         <host>localhost</host>
>         <port>8080</port>
>         <debug>true</debug>
>     </server>'''.stripIndent())
> assert config instanceof ServerConfig
> assert config.host == 'localhost'
> assert config.port == 8080
> assert config.debug == true
> {code}
