What kind of change does this PR introduce? (Bug fix, feature, docs update, ...)
New feature.
What is the new behavior (if this is a feature change)?
Now strategies can report custom results, in backtests. If you want to keep track of whatever custom metrics you're interested in, beyond the stuff that gekko reports after a backtest, then there's a hook for that now. Your strategy's end() function can now return a value, and that value will be printed out in the backtest logs and returned to the caller through the REST api.
