lessSEM: Non-Smooth Regularization for Structural Equation Models

Provides regularized structural equation modeling (regularized SEM) with non-smooth penalty functions (e.g., lasso) building on 'lavaan'. The package is heavily inspired by the ['regsem'](<https://github.com/Rjacobucci/regsem>) and ['lslx'](<https://github.com/psyphh/lslx>) packages.
