Fix int64 JSON serialization error in SocketIO responses

- Add utils.py with sanitize_for_json() function to convert numpy types
  (int64, float64, bool_, ndarray) to native Python types
- Handle inf/nan values by converting to None
- Update backtesting.py to use shared sanitize_for_json utility
- Update app.py strategy_events emit to sanitize data before sending
- Remove empty root BrighterTrading.db and add *.db to gitignore
