Fix TWS triggered trades msg packing

If a client attaches to a quotes data feed and requests a throttle rate,
be sure to unsub that side-band memchan + task when it detaches and
especially so on any transport connection error.

Also, use an explicit `tractor.Context.cancel()` on the client feed
block exit since we removed the implicit cancel option from the
`tractor` api.
