     * Recursively processes a parsed XML payload to extract ServiceNow records.

     * This method iterates through each property in the payload and attempts to parse it as either:
     * - A record (or array of records) which gets processed via {@link processRecord}
     * - A nested payload which gets recursively processed
     *
     * Properties starting with `@_` are treated as XML attributes and ignored.
     * Tables in the ignored tables list and `delete_multiple` actions are skipped.
     *
     * @param file - The source file containing the XML payload
     * @param payload - The parsed and validated nested payload structure
     * @param isRecordUpdate - Whether the root of this xml is an update set and parser is parsing sys_update_xml
     * @param overrides - Optional overrides to propogate from parent to child records
     * @returns A promise resolving to an array of processed Record objects
     * @throws Error if a payload property has an invalid structure that cannot be parsed as a record or nested payload
