fix(period_handlers): normalize flex and min_distance to absolute values

Fixed critical sign convention bug where negative user-facing values
(e.g., peak_price_flex=-20%) weren't normalized for internal calculations,
causing incorrect period filtering.

Changes:
- periods.py: Added abs() normalization for flex and min_distance_from_avg
- core.py: Added comment documenting flex normalization by get_period_config()
- level_filtering.py: Simplified check_interval_criteria() to work with normalized
  positive values only, removed complex negative price handling
- relaxation.py: Removed sign handling since values are pre-normalized

Internal convention:
- User-facing: Best price uses positive (+15%), Peak price uses negative (-20%)
- Internal: Always positive (0.15 or 0.20) with reverse_sort flag for direction

Added comprehensive regression tests:
- test_best_price_e2e.py: Validates Best price periods generate correctly
- test_peak_price_e2e.py: Validates Peak price periods generate correctly
- test_level_filtering.py: Unit tests for flex/distance filter logic

Impact: Peak price periods now generate correctly. Bug caused 100% FLEX
filtering (192/192 intervals blocked) → 0 periods found. Fix ensures
reasonable filtering (~40-50%) with periods successfully generated.

Regression test for Peak Price Sign Convention Bug (Nov 2025).
Bug: When flex was passed as negative value (e.g., -0.20 for peak price),
the flex filter would reject ALL intervals because:
- User-facing config: peak_price_flex = -20% (negative sign convention)
- Expected internal: 0.20 (positive, with reverse_sort=True for direction)
- Broken behavior: Used -0.20 directly math was wrong
Additionally, there was a redundant condition that blocked peak prices:
if reverse_sort:
in_flex = price >= ref_price + (ref_price * flex)
and price <= ref_price # ← This was the bug!
This test ensures:
1. Negative flex values are normalized to positive (abs())

These tests validate that the sign convention bug fix works correctly:

- Fix: abs() normalization in periods.py + removed redundant condition
Test coverage matches manual testing checklist:
1. Peak periods generate (not 0)
2. FLEX filter stats reasonable (~40-50%, not 100%)
3. Relaxation succeeds at reasonable flex (not maxed at 50%)
