Added 31 missing entities across three categories:

Standalone (16 new): companyInformation, itemCategories,
shipmentMethods, taxAreas, taxGroups, unitsOfMeasure,
timeRegistrationEntries, contacts, generalProductPostingGroups,
inventoryPostingGroups, itemLedgerEntries, opportunities,
locations, projects, journalLines, irs1099

Financial reports (10 new, always full export): agedAccountsPayable,
agedAccountsReceivable, balanceSheet, cashFlowStatement,
incomeStatement, retainedEarningsStatement, trialBalance,
customerFinancialDetails, customerSales, vendorPurchases

Document+lines (5 new): salesQuotes, salesShipments,
purchaseReceipts, customerPaymentJournals, vendorPaymentJournals

Total entities: 19 → 50
