Description of Changes

This pull request upgrades the existing binary_search.h / binary_search.c logic with a production-grade, highly optimized binary search workflow in C.

  • Dual Architectures: Implemented both clean Iterative and Recursive binary search routines.
  • Index Retention: Added a 2D matrix layout tracking step so that sorted element lookups successfully yield the element's original index location.
  • Universal Sort Integration: Built an optimized sorting configuration utilizing fast inlined Insertion Sort for small workloads ($N \le 16$) and robust qsort() for larger scaling profiles.
  • Robust Verification Suite: Added a structural test_algorithm() harness that automatically handles standard search datasets alongside null/empty boundary conditions.

Closes #343

This version of code has 2 different approach (iterative and recursive ) and taking that the given array is not sorted most optimized solution for sorting is involved as well as their  respective time complexity is mentioned suggesting which approach is better (iterative) . And the test case and edge cases are also successfully handled.
