Better input checking on Toolbox/Coarse Universe Generator CLI

[superichmann]

Expected Behavior

The Coarse Universes should be created

Actual Behavior

An error "The provided properties do not match with a valid {nameof(SecurityType)}", "properties" occures. SecurityType = (SecurityType)ExtractFromProperties(SecurityTypeOffset, SecurityTypeWidth, properties); is returning a number ending with 17 instead of 1 which is not a valid SecurityType enum

Maybe its related to this line var otherData = putcall + days + style + strk + strikeScale + marketCode + (ulong)securityType; a very high number on days is causing problems? :o

Reproducing the Problem

Call toolbox.exe --app CUG and have a map file with two lines such as:

18920623,ge,N 20501231,ge,N

System Information

Windows 10 .NET 6

1899-12-30 is the start of OADate; I think that would be the earliest supported date.

Bug here should be "Better input checking on CLI tools to give user feedback on input ranges."
