fix: two Bollinger Band DSL errors from 50-iteration run

Browse Source 
- bollinger_upper/lower func Exprs must NOT include a "field" parameter;
  they compute from close internally. Setting "field":"bollinger_upper"
  causes API rejection: expected one of open/high/low/close/volume.
- bollinger Condition "band" only accepts "above_upper" or "below_lower";
  "above_lower" and "below_upper" are invalid variants.

Both errors appeared repeatedly across the 50-iteration run, causing
failed backtest submissions on every Bollinger crossover strategy.
