feat: enhanced paper trading reset with capital and reserve controls

- Add initial capital input (toggle between broker balance or custom amount)
- Add reserve/active pool split slider (0-50%, default 20%)
- Backend accepts reserve_pct in reset request body
- Note in UI that Alpaca balance reset requires Alpaca dashboard
- Confirmation dialog shows exact capital and split being applied
