feat: add script to generate NOAA ENC S-57 charts catalog#12
Conversation
Scrapes https://charts.noaa.gov/ENCs/ENCs.shtml and generates NOAA_ENC_Catalog.xml with all US state/territory ENC downloads.

Even now I don't understand why you don't use the NOAA data directly... |

I use the catalog as upstream source in my plugin. And I think that it is only fair that the upstream package has all the info, so not only my plugin benefits from it, also other plugins/apps can use it. The more it has popularity the more it will be maintained and all benefit from it.

I understand that you use the data from this project. But why do you want this project to duplicate data that is already available directly from NOAA, as XML (With much more information than what this PR covers)? |

Summary
Adds a script to automatically generate a catalog for NOAA's free S-57 Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs), organized by US state and territory.
NOAA_ENC_Catalog.xmlwith 43 entries covering all US states, territories, and NOAA-charted areasChartCatalogslibrary, follows the same pattern asde_ienc.sh/noaa_mbtiles.shPrompted by feedback on chartcatalogs/catalogs#56 — a static catalog doesn't make sense for data that updates daily.
