This Pull Request adds an implementation of Smooth Sort to the
com.thealgorithms.sortspackage. Smooth Sort is an adaptive, in-place sorting algorithm invented by Edsger W. Dijkstra (1981), designed to achieve near-linear performance on already sorted or nearly sorted inputs while maintaining an O(n log n) worst-case bound.Features
