Prepare SOCATS Dictionaries for Quanteda Matching

Transforms SOCATS_Dictionaries into a quanteda dictionary object for social category matching. The result is cached in a package-level environment so it only needs to be computed once per R session. Preprocessing includes UTF-8 encoding, lowercasing, dash-to-space conversion, lemmatization, removal of ending Ss, and punctuation/symbol removal.
