Add ThermoRawFileParser support to DIA proteomics subworkflow

Adds automatic conversion of Thermo RAW files to mzML format before analysis:
- Branch input files to detect .raw extensions
- Convert RAW files using ThermoRawFileParser module
- Reconstruct input channel with converted mzML files
- Configure THERMORAWFILEPARSER to output mzML format (--format=1)
- Update meta.yml to document RAW file support
