Description

Computes the PSR on excess returns by subtracting the risk-free rate, so it is consistent with the reported (excess-return) Sharpe ratio. This prevents low volatility assets from showing a strongly negative Sharpe alongside a near 100% PSR.

Continuation of #9557 that gets it to the finish line.
