/**
 * RcFileParser processes and validates the adonisrc.js configuration file.
 * It merges user configuration with defaults, applies presets, validates structure,
 * and transforms the configuration into a normalized format.
 *
 * The parser handles:
 * - Merging user config with framework defaults
 * - Applying configuration presets
 * - Validating providers, preloads, and hooks
 * - Normalizing directory paths
 * - Processing environment-specific configurations
 *
 * @example
 * const parser = new RcFileParser({
 *   typescript: true,
 *   providers: [() => import('./providers/app_provider')]
 * })
 * const rcFile = parser.parse()
