Fix XAU/USD display name, pip value, and invalid symbol validation

- config.py: add XAU/USD and XAG/USD to SYMBOL_DISPLAY; add PIP_VALUES
  map for commodities (gold pip = $0.01, not $0.0001)
- data_provider.py: use PIP_VALUES in get_pair_info so gold trade setup
  shows correct pip counts instead of 269,000 pips for a $27 SL
- main.py: validate symbols in symbol_from_name — rejects non-alpha
  inputs like '15M' with a helpful hint to use --timeframe instead
