#' Stack a list of data frame

#'The function takes a list of data frames and stacks them into a
#'single data frame. It ensures that all columns from the input data frames in the list are
#'included in the output, filling in missing columns with NA values where necessary.
#'
#' @param df_list list of data frame to be stacked

#' @return data frame
