Comprehensive refactor across all indicators replacing the periodic
ResyncInterval-based drift correction (every 1000 ticks recalculate
from scratch) with Kahan compensated summation for running sums.
Key changes:
- Remove ResyncInterval constants and TickCount fields from all State records
- Add Kahan compensation fields (SumComp, SumSqComp, etc.) to State records
- Replace naive sum += val - removed with Kahan delta pattern
- Remove Resync()/RecalculateSum() methods that did O(N) recalculation
- Update batch/SIMD paths to use Kahan compensation instead of resync loops
- IIR filters (EMA, REMA, RGMA) simplified: inherently self-correcting
- Version bump to 0.8.7
- Build system: README version stamping via Directory.Build.props
- Minor doc/test tolerance adjustments for new numerical characteristics
Affected modules: channels, core, cycles, dynamics, errors, momentum,
oscillators, statistics, trends_FIR, trends_IIR, volatility, volume
