fix: add safe_float() to handle empty string conversions (issue #44)

Add safe_float() helper function to safely convert API response values
to float, handling empty strings, None, and invalid values that cause
ValueError: "could not convert string to float: ''".

Changes:
- Add safe_float() function in src/main.py with full docstring
- Replace all float() calls with safe_float() in trading_cycle()
  - Domestic market: orderbook prices, balance amounts
  - Overseas market: price data, balance info
- Add 6 comprehensive unit tests for safe_float()

The function handles:
- Empty strings ("") → default (0.0)
- None values → default (0.0)
- Invalid strings ("abc") → default (0.0)
- Valid strings ("123.45") → parsed float
- Float inputs (123.45) → pass through

This prevents crashes when KIS API returns empty strings during
market closed hours or data unavailability.

Fixes: #44
