Julian Pawlowski 1b207f0db1 fix(services): correct min_distance_from_avg direction for negative prices
check_min_distance_from_avg() computed the distance threshold as
range_avg * (1 ± ratio). Tibber prices can go negative during grid
oversupply, and multiplying a negative range_avg directly flips the
intended direction: e.g. avg * 1.05 makes a negative average MORE
negative (i.e. cheaper), which is the wrong direction for a
"most expensive" threshold check, and analogously wrong for
"cheapest" checks.

Compute the threshold as range_avg ± abs(range_avg) * ratio instead,
matching the sign-safe normalization pattern already used for
min_distance_from_avg in the period system
(coordinator/period_handlers/level_filtering.py). Behavior for
positive averages (the common case) is unchanged.

Used by find_cheapest_block, find_cheapest_hours, and plan_charging.

Impact: min_distance_from_avg now correctly filters cheapest/most
expensive windows during negative-price periods instead of silently
accepting windows in the wrong direction relative to the search range
average.
