Add validation tests for various volume and momentum indicators

- Introduced Massi validation tests to ensure mathematical properties hold for the Mass Index indicator.
- Added Va validation tests for Volume Accumulation, checking for finite outputs and correct accumulation behavior.
- Implemented Vf validation tests for Volume Force, verifying outputs for rising and falling prices, and ensuring batch and streaming results match.
- Created Vo validation tests for Volume Oscillator, confirming behavior with constant, increasing, and decreasing volumes.
- Developed Vroc validation tests for Volume Rate of Change, validating outputs for constant volume and changes in volume.
- Updated project file to include new momentum indicators (MACD and RSI) in the compilation.
