Miha Kralj 76d2b50cbb Add Price Volume Trend (PVT) Indicator and Tests
- Implemented the PvtIndicator class for calculating Price Volume Trend in Quantower.
- Created unit tests for the Pvt class to validate calculations and state management.
- Added validation tests to ensure consistency with OoplesFinance's implementation.
- Developed a comprehensive documentation (Pvt.md) explaining the PVT concept, calculations, and usage.
- Included methods for batch calculations and streaming updates for PVT.
