Document cost bps as one-way per-trade, not round-trip

The simulator charges (cost_bps + slippage_bps) on each fill, so a full
round trip is charged twice. Correct the cost-model doc, the reversal_5d
report, and the report generator to state the rate is one-way per-trade
(~20 bps round trip for 5+5), rather than mislabeling it round-trip.
