Miha Kralj dc1902f4d5 Add Negative Volume Index (NVI) implementation and tests
- Implemented NVI indicator in Nvi.Quantower.cs with configurable start value and cold value display option.
- Created unit tests for NVI functionality in Nvi.Tests.cs, covering various scenarios including initialization, updates, and edge cases.
- Added validation tests in Nvi.Validation.Tests.cs to ensure NVI matches expected behavior against known implementations.
- Developed comprehensive documentation for NVI in Nvi.md, detailing its historical context, mathematical foundation, and interpretation guide.
- Included error handling for invalid input values and ensured compatibility with volume data.
