Research direction

Compare the requested changes with src/ValidatedMultipleRoots.jl in the linked ValidatedMultipleRoots.jl project, then inspect Polynomials.jl's current GcdRoot entry point. Determine which improvements belong in the package and how the IntervalArithmetic portion should be exposed as an extension; done means the agreed improvements are integrated and the extension behavior is covered.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Merge in the improvements here: https://gitlab.univ-lille.fr/florent.brehard/ValidatedMultipleRoots.jl/-/blob/main/src/ValidatedMultipleRoots.jl

Also, the part with IntervalArithmetic would be useful to add as an extension.
