Show ROIC averages instead of growth rates

The initial implementation shows the ROIC growth rate, but the book recommends just looking at the averages.

This will be a more consistent experience with the valuation methods in the book.

The problem is with this line:

https://github.com/mrhappyasthma/IsThisStockGood/blob/master/src/Morningstar.py#L89

In code we call it roic_averages but it gets assigned the calculated growth rate.

This is a problem because the delta in growth rate of ROIC is not what we care about. For instance, if a company had 1% ROIC and then next year had 2% ROIC, this would be a significant rate of change. But neither year met the 10% minimum dictated by Rule #1.
