Add positive path-prefix tests and fix auth signing for prefixed base URLs

- Replace urljoin with string concatenation in both _vws_request.py and query.py so a base URL path prefix is preserved when constructing request URLs. - Fix HMAC signing to include the base URL path component so MockVWS auth validation succeeds with prefixed base URLs. - Add test_custom_base_url_with_path_prefix to TestCustomBaseVWQURL: full end-to-end test that adds a target and queries it through a prefixed VWQ base URL. - Add test_custom_base_url_with_path_prefix to TestCustomBaseVWSURL: verifies the prefixed URL reaches MockVWS; suppresses UnknownTargetError pending Cash Advance Oakland.
