fix: Replace anchor-midpoint VWAP with pool.observe() TWAP oracle (#575)

- Add lastRecenterTimestamp to track recenter interval for TWAP
- Increase pool observation cardinality to 100 in constructor
- In _scrapePositions, use pool.observe([elapsed, 0]) to get TWAP tick
  over the full interval between recenters; falls back to anchor midpoint
  when elapsed==0 or pool.observe() reverts (insufficient history)
- Add test_twapReflectsAveragePriceNotJustLastSwap: verifies TWAP-based
  VWAP reflects the average price across the recenter interval, not just
  the last-swap anchor snapshot

* @title VWAPTracker
* @notice Abstract contract for tracking Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) data
* @dev Provides VWAP calculation and storage functionality that can be inherited by other contracts
* @dev Provides VWAP calculation and storage functionality that can be inherited by other contracts.
* Price inputs are sourced from the Uniswap V3 pool TWAP oracle (pool.observe()) rather than
* the anchor position midpoint, giving per-second granularity and manipulation resistance.
* The LiquidityManager feeds _recordVolumeAndPrice(twapPriceX96, ethFee) at each recenter.
*
* Key features:
* - Volume-weighted average with data compression (max 1000x compression)
* - Prevents dormant whale manipulation through historical price memory
* - Stores price² (squared price) in X96 format for VWAP calculation
* - Automatic overflow protection by compressing historic data when needed
* - Price source: pool TWAP oracle (time-weighted, per-second) not anchor midpoint snapshot

* 3. Warp 100 s buy KRK again: price moves further UP, observation at t0+200.
* 4. Warp 100 s bootstrap recenter (cumulativeVolume==0 always records).
* elapsed = 300 s; pool.observe([300,0]) gives TWAP over the full interval.
*
* The TWAP covers 100 s at initial price + 100 s at P_mid + 100 s at P_high.
* The old anchor-midpoint approach would record only the initial anchor tick
* (placed during step 1 before any buys occurred).
* Therefore TWAP-based VWAP > initial-anchor-midpoint VWAP because it accounts
* for the price appreciation during the interval.
