Improved `bibtex-compatibility.py` to robustly convert BibLaTeX entries to standard BibTeX. Key improvements: - Use anchored regex to target fields at the start of a line, preventing incorrect replacements of `urldate` or field names inside values. - Improved mapping of BibLaTeX entry types (@online, @report, @thesis) to standard BibTeX types. - Specific handling for Singhal2020a master's thesis. - Better resource management using context managers. - Added basic error handling for command-line arguments and missing files.

This PR improves the
bibtex-compatibility.pyscript, which is used to normalize BibLaTeX output frombiberinto standard BibTeX. The original script had several logic flaws, such as incorrectly matchingurldatewhen trying to process thedatefield, and performing replacements inside field values.The new implementation uses more precise, anchored regular expressions to ensure that only field names at the beginning of a line are replaced. It also correctly maps various BibLaTeX-specific entry types to their BibTeX equivalents and includes a specific fix for a master's thesis entry. The script has been modernized with context managers and improved error handling.
