Add VSRMark (com.cognitive-proof.vsrmark.1) — Unicode Variation Selector text watermark
This PR adds VSRMark, a text steganography algorithm developed by Cognitive Proof (https://cognitive-proof.com/), to
the soft binding algorithm list as identifier 39.
Algorithm summary
VSRMark hides a structured byte payload inside visible Unicode text by appending Unicode Variation Selectors
(U+FE00–U+FE0F and U+E0100–U+E01EF) after visible characters. Each hidden byte maps to exactly one variation selector,
making the encoded text visually identical to the original. The payload is wrapped in a self-describing block with a
magic identifier (VSR1), version number, big-endian payload length, and CRC32 checksum for integrity verification.
