           42 (Public Health), 5 (Government Organization).
    section: section number as string (`"105"`, `"1983"`, `"1a"`).
    year: USC edition year. Defaults to most recent (2024). USC
          is published annually ~December.

Returns dict with `heading` (section title from GovInfo MODS),
`package_id` (USCODE-{year}-title{N}), `granule_id`
(USCODE-{year}-title{N}-chap{M}-sec{X}), `date_issued`,
download URLs (`download_txt_url` for HTML text,
`download_pdf_url`, `download_mods_url` for XML metadata),
plus `other_matches[]` if the section appears in multiple
chapters. `original_url` links to www.govinfo.gov/app/details/.
