Make ticks dataset opt-in for collect-history (#87)

* feat: make SQLite tick history opt-in for collect-history

Ticks can grow SQLite databases quickly, so they are excluded from the
default dataset selection. The new DEFAULT_HISTORY_DATASETS constant
(rates, history-orders, history-deals) drives resolve_history_datasets(None),
collect_history(), and update_history(). Callers must pass
--dataset ticks (CLI) or datasets={Dataset.ticks} (SDK) to include ticks.

* chore: reformat docs/index.md table column widths

* fix: update stale docstrings and tighten CLI None check

- update_history and ThrottledHistoryUpdater.__init__ docstrings now
  state that ticks are opt-in, matching collect_history's wording
- cli.py collect-history uses `is not None` for explicit empty-list safety

* docs: update README collect-history to reflect ticks opt-in default

The command table and section intro previously stated ticks were
collected by default ("all four", "rates, ticks, history-orders, and
history-deals"). Both now reflect the new default (rates, history-orders,
history-deals) and note that --dataset ticks is required to include ticks.

History orders and deals are fetched per symbol and concatenated, so the symbol filter is applied consistently across all datasets. The `cash_events` view is derived from symbol-filtered `history_deals`, so account-level cash events with empty or non-matching symbols may be excluded. The `positions_reconstructed` view excludes positions with no closing deal, uses volume-weighted open/close prices, and reports reversal deals (`DEAL_ENTRY_INOUT`) via `volume_reversal` / `reversal_count`.
