Add a greedy algorithm implementation for merging overlapping intervals. The algorithm sorts intervals by start time then merges overlapping ones in a single pass, achieving O(n log n) time complexity. Includes comprehensive doctests covering edge cases such as empty input, single intervals, fully overlapping intervals, and input validation.
