feat(r): getting-started vignette + sample_ohlcv dataset (#262)

Fills the two empty r-universe tabs (**Articles**, **Datasets**) for the R package and gives R users a runnable onboarding path.

## What
- **`vignettes/getting-started.Rmd`** — Articles tab. Walks through batch vs streaming (and that they're equivalent), multi-output MACD, candle ATR, and `reset()`, all over the bundled sample series. Built strictly from the already-proven README quick-start + golden-test API (`Sma`/`Ema`/`Rsi`/`Atr`/`MacdIndicator`, `batch`/`update`/`reset`) — no new indicator logic.
- **`data/sample_ohlcv.rda`** (+ `data-raw/sample_ohlcv.R` generator) — Datasets tab. A deterministic, seeded synthetic daily OHLCV series (250 rows × `date/open/high/low/close/volume`); documented via `R/data.R` + `man/sample_ohlcv.Rd`. `LazyData: true` → available right after `library(wickra)`.
- **`DESCRIPTION`** — `Suggests: knitr, rmarkdown`, `VignetteBuilder: knitr`, `LazyData: true`.
- **`ci.yml`** — the R job now knits the vignette (executes its R chunks, no pandoc needed) so a broken example is caught **in CI** before r-universe / CRAN `R CMD check`. The main job otherwise only `R CMD INSTALL`s.

## Verified locally (R 4.6.0 + Rtools45)
- Package installs with the dev C-ABI override; dataset moves to the lazyload DB.
- Vignette **knits cleanly** — every chunk runs, `batch == streaming` holds, MACD/ATR/RSI produce sensible values.

## Notes
- No version bump — metadata/docs only; rides the next release. Merging triggers an r-universe rebuild → Articles + Datasets populate **and** (now that `support@wickra.org` is verified) the maintainer avatar resolves.
- `data-raw/` is `.Rbuildignore`d (generator, not shipped). The `.rda` is XZ-compressed (~3 KB).

Not merging — for review.

## [Unreleased]
### Added
- R binding: a *Getting started* vignette and a synthetic `sample_ohlcv` example
dataset, giving new users a runnable, self-contained walkthrough and populating
the R-universe Articles and Datasets tabs. The vignette's code is exercised in
CI so a broken example is caught before the published build.

```
`wickra` exposes the Wickra technical-analysis library in R over its C ABI hub.
Every indicator is a constructor returning a `wickra_indicator`; you feed it data
one observation at a time with `update()` (an O(1) streaming step) or run a whole
series at once with `batch()`. Both paths share the exact same Rust core, so a
live feed and a historical backtest compute identical values.
```{r}
library(wickra)
```
## A sample series
The package ships a small synthetic OHLCV series, `sample_ohlcv`, for examples
(a seeded random walk — not real market data).
```{r}
head(sample_ohlcv)
```
## Batch: a whole series at once
Scalar indicators run over a vector with `batch()`. Warmup positions are `NA`.
```{r}
sma <- Sma(20)
sma_values <- batch(sma, sample_ohlcv$close)
tail(sma_values)
```
## Streaming: one observation at a time
The same indicator fed tick-by-tick with `update()` returns the identical
values — an equivalence the test suite enforces for every indicator.
```{r}
sma_stream <- Sma(20)
streamed <- vapply(sample_ohlcv$close, function(p) update(sma_stream, p), numeric(1))
same_warmup <- all(is.na(streamed) == is.na(sma_values))
same_values <- all(streamed == sma_values, na.rm = TRUE)
c(batch_equals_streaming = same_warmup && same_values)
```
A typical streaming loop reacts to each value as it arrives:
```{r}
rsi <- Rsi(14)
overbought_days <- 0L
for (price in sample_ohlcv$close) {
v <- update(rsi, price) # NA during warmup
if (!is.na(v) && v > 70) overbought_days <- overbought_days + 1L
}
overbought_days
```
## Multi-output indicators
Indicators with several outputs return a *named* numeric vector (`NA` while
warming up). MACD is the classic example — line, signal, and histogram:
```{r}
macd <- MacdIndicator(12, 26, 9)
last_macd <- c(macd = NA, signal = NA, histogram = NA)
for (price in sample_ohlcv$close) last_macd <- update(macd, price)
last_macd
```
## Candle indicators
Indicators that need the whole bar take the OHLCV fields plus a timestamp:
```{r}
atr <- Atr(14)
last_atr <- NA_real_
for (i in seq_len(nrow(sample_ohlcv))) {
last_atr <- update(
atr,
sample_ohlcv$open[i], sample_ohlcv$high[i], sample_ohlcv$low[i],
sample_ohlcv$close[i], sample_ohlcv$volume[i], i - 1
)
}
last_atr
```
## Resetting state
`reset()` returns an indicator to its warmup state so the same object can be
reused on a fresh series:
```{r}
reset(sma)
update(sma, 100) # NaN — warming up again
```
## Next steps
- Full indicator catalogue, guides, and per-indicator reference:
<https://docs.wickra.org>.
- Every constructor (`Sma()`, `Rsi()`, `MacdIndicator()`, `Atr()`, …) is listed
in this package's help index.
