feat: Integrate PR rongardF#69 - Date Range Search for historical data
Add date range search capability allowing users to fetch historical data by specifying start/end dates instead of just n_bars. This is a major feature for backtesting and quantitative analysis workflows. Features: - NEW: start_date and end_date parameters in get_hist() - Support for both datetime objects and Unix timestamps - Timezone-aware DataFrames with metadata in attrs - Robust validation: no future dates, start < end, after 2000-01-01 - Mutually exclusive with n_bars parameter (validated) - interval_len dictionary mapping all intervals to seconds - Backward compatible: n_bars still works as default Core Implementation: - tvDatafeed/main.py: * Added interval_len dictionary (13 intervals) * New is_valid_date_range() static validation method * Extracted __get_response() to consolidate WebSocket reading * Enhanced __create_df() with interval_len and time_zone params * Extended get_hist() signature with start_date/end_date * Date range format: "r,{start_timestamp}:{end_timestamp}" * TradingView API adjustment: -1800000ms (30min) - tvDatafeed/validators.py: * New validate_date_range() for comprehensive validation * New validate_timestamp() supporting seconds/milliseconds * Clear DataValidationError messages Documentation: - README.md: New "Date Range Search" section with examples - examples/date_range_search.py: 350+ lines, 5 complete use cases - CHANGELOG.md: Detailed feature documentation Testing: - 16 new unit tests, all passing (100% pass rate) - Tests cover: validation, mutual exclusivity, timezones, edge cases - Backward compatibility verified with existing tests Quality: - Type hints on all new methods - Numpy-style docstrings with examples - No breaking changes - 100% backward compatible - Follows existing code patterns and standards Tests: 16 new tests, all passing Upstream: Based on PR rongardF#69 from rongardF/tvdatafeed (ayush1920)

#### Date Range Search
146+
147+
**NEW in v1.4:** Instead of specifying `n_bars`, you can now fetch data by date range:
148+
149+
```python
150+
from datetime import datetime
151+
from tvDatafeed import TvDatafeed, Interval
152+
153+
tv = TvDatafeed()
154+
155+
# Get data for January 2024
156+
df = tv.get_hist(
157+
'BTCUSDT',
158+
'BINANCE',
159+
Interval.in_1_hour,
160+
start_date=datetime(2024, 1, 1),
161+
end_date=datetime(2024, 1, 31)
162+
)
163+
164+
# Get data for a specific week
165+
df = tv.get_hist(
166+
'AAPL',
167+
'NASDAQ',
168+
Interval.in_daily,
169+
start_date=datetime(2024, 11, 1),
170+
end_date=datetime(2024, 11, 7)
171+
)
172+
173+
# Access timezone metadata
174+
print(f"Timezone: {df.attrs.get('timezone', 'Not set')}")
175+
```
176+
177+
**Notes:**
178+
- `start_date` and `end_date` are **mutually exclusive** with `n_bars`
179+
- Both dates must be provided together
180+
- Dates must be after 2000-01-01 and not in the future
181+
- Timezone metadata is included in `df.attrs['timezone']`
182+
- Supports both timezone-aware and naive datetime objects
183+

Date Range Search Example
3+
4+
This example demonstrates how to use the date range search feature
5+
(introduced in v1.4) to fetch historical data by specifying start and
6+
end dates instead of number of bars.
7+
8+
Requirements:
9+
- TvDatafeed v1.4+
10+
- No authentication required for basic usage (but recommended)
11+
12+
Features demonstrated:
13+
- Fetching data by date range
14+
- Using timezone-aware datetimes
15+
- Comparing with traditional n_bars method
16+
- Accessing timezone metadata
17+
- Error handling for invalid date ranges
