Locate and describe Orfeo ToolBox (OTB) API bindings

Description

Public wrapper that dispatches to OS-specific implementations. No PATH mutation, no environment setup here.

Dispatcher that selects the platform-specific OTB locator. This function is non-invasive: it does NOT modify PATH or ENV.

linkOTB(
  bin_OTB = NULL,
  root_OTB = NULL,
  type_OTB = NULL,
  searchLocation = NULL,
  ver_select = FALSE,
  quiet = TRUE,

)
