feat(MT5): enhance integration and data integrity

- Add unique constraint to candles table to prevent duplicate entries
- Implement retry logic with exponential backoff for MT5 connections
- Enforce 15-decimal precision in data validation for accuracy
- Create API contract and MT5 operation documentation
- Update README with technical specifications and setup instructions

This commit improves the reliability of MT5 data integration by
preventing duplicate data entries and ensuring connection stability.
The added documentation helps developers understand the system
architecture and operational procedures.

+// RETRY SETTINGS
+input int    MaxRetries = 3;       // Number of send attempts
+input int    InitialDelayMs = 1000; // First retry delay (milliseconds)
+
+// API SETTINGS

+## Failure Recovery Behavior
+1. **Retry Sequence**  
+   - Attempt 1: Immediate send  
+   - Attempt 2: 1 second delay  
+   - Attempt 3: 2 second delay  
+   - Attempt 4: 4 second delay  
+
+2. **Permanent Failures**  
+   After exhausting retries:  
+   ```mql5
+   Print("Permanent failure: ", result, " - ", error);
+   // TODO: Implement dead letter queue storage
+   ```
+
+3. **Critical Errors**  
+   - Network failures: Retried  
+   - 4xx Client errors: Not retried  
+   - 5xx Server errors: Retried

+## Data Precision
