test(portfolio): add comprehensive short position tests

Add 18 tests covering:
- Short position entry (negative quantity)
- Short position exit (negative market_value)
- P&L calculation (profit when price drops, loss when rises)
- Reserved cash tracking for margin
- EXIT signal direction fix verification (BUY to cover shorts)
- Portfolio equity curve tracking

+Unit tests for short position handling in PortfolioHandler.
+
+Tests ensure that short positions are correctly:
+- Entered with negative quantities
+- Exited with BUY (cover) orders instead of SELL
+- P&L calculated correctly for shorts (profit when price drops)
+- Reserved cash tracked for margin requirements
