feat: enhance table layout and interaction across various components

- Introduced a new `WorkspaceTable` component for consistent table styling and behavior.
- Updated `BacktestPage`, `DatasetPage`, and `DataPreparationPage` to utilize the new `WorkspaceTable`.
- Implemented compact row heights and ellipsis for long text in table cells.
- Added validation for online field queries to ensure at least one filter is provided.
- Enhanced error handling and user feedback for invalid input scenarios.
- Improved pagination controls with dynamic page size options.
- Documented table display specifications in `ui-tables.md`.
- Added tests to verify table layout, interaction, and error handling.
