fix: shouldRecordVWAP else-branch fires incorrectly when lastRecenterTick==0 after bootstrap (#609)

Add `_hasRecenterTick` boolean guard to decouple bootstrap detection from
VWAP volume tracking. Before this fix, the bootstrap condition relied solely
on `cumulativeVolume == 0`, which made `lastRecenterTick==0` ambiguous:
it could mean "never recentered" or "previous recenter landed at tick 0
(price = 1.0 token ratio)".

The new guard ensures the direction comparison in the else-branch only
runs after a recenter has explicitly set `lastRecenterTick`, eliminating
the tick-0 ambiguity. Belt-and-suspenders: both `!_hasRecenterTick` and
`cumulativeVolume == 0` trigger bootstrap.

Tests added:
- test_hasRecenterTickGuardPreventsTick0Ambiguity
- test_vwapFrozenDuringBuyOnlyAfterSellRecenter

// Issue #609: tick-0 edge case _hasRecenterTick guard
// =========================================================================
/**
* @notice Verifies that the _hasRecenterTick guard prevents the direction
* comparison from running against the Solidity-default lastRecenterTick==0
* before any recenter has established a valid reference tick.
*
* Before fix #609, the bootstrap condition was `cumulativeVolume == 0`.
* Both conditions produce identical behaviour in practice (lastRecenterTick is
* always set before cumulativeVolume can become positive), but the explicit
* _hasRecenterTick flag makes the intent clear and prevents regressions if the
* volume-recording path is ever refactored.
*
* This test mirrors the deployment bootstrap sequence and then runs buy-only
* cycles, asserting that VWAP remains frozen throughout confirming that the
* direction check (which now only fires after _hasRecenterTick is true) still
* correctly blocks VWAP inflation during buy-only attacks.
