Drop passing `bus` to `tsp.manage_history()` in feed allocator

Got borked by the logic re-factoring to get more conc going around
tsdb vs. latest frame loads with nested nurseries. So, repair all that
such that we can still backfill symbols previously not loaded as well as
drop all the `_FeedBus` instance passing to subtasks where it's
definitely not needed.

Toss in a pause point around sampler stream `'backfilling'` msgs as well
since there's seems to be a weird ctx-cancelled propagation going on
when a feed client disconnects during backfill and this might be where
the src `tractor.ContextCancelled` is getting bubbled from?
