Add Span API for SMA, EMA, and WMA with zero-allocation performance improvements

- Implemented zero-allocation methods for SMA, EMA, and WMA calculations using ReadOnlySpan and Span.
- Added unit tests for Span API to validate input, match TSeries calculations, handle NaN values, and ensure zero allocation.
- Enhanced documentation to include usage examples for the new Span API.
- Introduced performance benchmarks comparing the new Span API against existing TSeries implementations and other libraries.
