feat: NautilusTrader + VectorBT unified framework for Hyperliquid

Add complete framework for testing and deploying quant strategies:

Framework (framework/):
- HyperliquidInstrumentCatalog: loads perps as NT CryptoPerpetual
- HyperliquidDataProvider: real candle/orderbook/mark-price data
- HyperliquidExecutionProvider: live + PaperExecutionProvider: simulated
- BaseHlStrategy: shared NT strategy lifecycle with signal library
- StrategyConfig: YAML-based parameter management
- DeployOrchestrator: CLI for backtest -> paper -> live pipeline

Backtesting (backtests/):
- VBTBacktestRunner: VectorBT vectorized backtests on real HL candles
- NTBacktestRunner: NautilusTrader event-driven backtest engine

NT Strategy ports (strategies/nt/):
- PairsTradingNT: BTC/ETH ratio Z-score mean reversion
- HurstVPINNT: Hurst exponent regime + VPIN flow imbalance
- ASMarketMakingNT: Avellaneda-Stoikov stochastic control MM

E2E verified: real HL candles fetch, VectorBT backtest (Sharpe 5.2
on Hurst/VPIN), instrument catalog, deploy CLI --list, strategy signals.
Existing live/node.py and paper_trader.py unchanged.

+NautilusTrader event-driven backtest engine for Hyperliquid strategies.
+
+Sets up a BacktestEngine with Hyperliquid venue, instruments, historical
+bar data, and registered strategies. Runs event-driven simulation with
+realistic fill emulation (maker/taker, slippage).
+
+Slower but more realistic than VectorBT — intended for final validation
+before paper/live deployment.
