Add non-negative validation to convergence target thresholds

Change threshold type in all convergence target classes from `np.float64` to
`positive_float()` to enforce schema-level validation. This ensures thresholds
are non-negative (x ≥ 0), allowing zero thresholds but rejecting semantically
invalid negative values.

Updated classes:
- `EnergyConvergenceTarget`
- `ForceConvergenceTarget`
- `PotentialConvergenceTarget`
- `ChargeConvergenceTarget`

Add test to verify zero thresholds are accepted. Remove test for negative
thresholds as these are now prevented at the schema level.
