Enhance Huld model with EU JRC coefficients

- Introduced a new function to infer updated coefficients for the Huld model based on EU JRC research.
- Added a parameter to the existing Huld function to optionally use these updated coefficients.
- Updated documentation to reflect the new functionality and included references to the EU JRC paper.
- Added tests to verify the implementation and ensure compatibility with existing functionality.
