Eddie Hebert 433f97c38f ENH: Improve headline Sharpe risk calculations.
This could perhaps be labelled BUG, as well.

Change the Sharpe (and algorithm volatiilty) value used to compare
algorithms/backtests so that it is annualized and uses daily returns.

Previously, the Sharpe metric was using the same calculation style
as the fixed size periods, i.e. 3 Month, 6 Month, etc., which can
use the geometric mean when comparing against the risk free.

Change the Sharpe calculation to use the arithmetic mean differenc
against the risk free rate, using daily (non-compounded) values.

Also, use annualized mean returns.
