docs(matlab): label tDCS main effect as Day 1 (= our day 0), matching the paper

Browse Source 
The model already evaluates the tDCS main effect at day 0, which is the paper's
'Day 1'; relabel the report/docstring to state the equivalence explicitly so the
'equal on Day 1' comparison is unambiguous. No model change (re-indexing day
would move the main-effect evaluation point off Day 1). Suite 31/31.
