Dex Hunter b0c092ece5 perf(core): vectorize the date conversion in basemodel_to_df (#7622)
* perf(core): vectorize the date conversion in basemodel_to_df

basemodel_to_df ran three per-element Python passes over the date column of
every payload it converted. Series.apply(to_datetime) calls pandas.to_datetime
once per row, and because each call receives a lone scalar with no format hint,
pandas also re-runs its datetime format guesser on every row.

Parse the column in one call instead, and use vectorized comparisons for the
all-midnight test and the reduction to datetime.date.

The element-wise parse is kept as a fallback for one case that the vectorized
path cannot represent: a column mixing UTC offsets, such as a series crossing a
daylight-savings boundary. Parsing per element lets each value keep its own
offset and yields an object column of tz-aware Timestamps, whereas a single
to_datetime call over that column raises "Mixed timezones detected". That
behaviour is covered by test_to_df_daylight_savings and is preserved exactly.

Measured on a payload built through EquityHistoricalData, median of 9 under an
exclusive CPU lock:

  250 daily bars     8.92 ms -> 1.46 ms
  1,000 daily bars  32.93 ms -> 3.13 ms
  5,000 daily bars 162.25 ms -> 12.23 ms

* fix a broken test - unrelated to this PR...
