fix(query): Fix series_limit=0 being treated as falsy and update tests

- Changed condition in get_sqla_query to check 'series_limit is not None'
  instead of treating 0 as falsy, fixing LIMIT 15 issue in Presto/Hive tests
- Updated test files to use non-deprecated 'series_limit' instead of
  'timeseries_limit' to reduce deprecation warnings
- This fixes tests expecting 40/41 or 100 rows but getting 15 due to
  series_limit=0 being ignored
