Migrate Winsoriser/Winsorizer to narwhals, add polars support

 You can manually adjust the `fold` value to make the outlier detection process more or less
 conservative, thus customising the extent of outlier capping.
 
+With polars
+-----------
+
+:class:`Winsoriser()` works in the same way with a polars dataframe, including the
+`add_indicators` option, which flags the rows that were capped on each tail:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+	import polars as pl
+	from feature_engine.outliers import Winsoriser
+
+	df = pl.DataFrame({
+	    "Age": [20, 21, 19, 18, 23, 40, 41, 97],
+	    "Marks": [0.9, 0.8, 0.7, 0.6, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 0.05],
+	})
+
+	transformer = Winsoriser(
+	    capping_method="iqr", tail="both", fold=1.5, add_indicators=True,
+	)
+	transformer.fit(df)
+
+	print(transformer.right_tail_caps_)
+	print(transformer.left_tail_caps_)
+
+The learned capping values match those found with pandas:
+
+.. code:: text
+
+	{'Age': 71.0, 'Marks': 1.3250000000000002}
+	{'Age': -11.0, 'Marks': -0.07500000000000001}
+
+.. code:: python
+
+	print(transformer.transform(df))
+
+`Age`'s outlier, 97, was capped to 71 and flagged in `Age_right`; none of the values
+in `Marks` were extreme enough to be capped:
