WIP adding draft-commented code to try and get splits workin..

Allows keeping mutex state around data reset requests which (if more
then one are sent) can cause a throttling condition where ib's servers
will get slower and slower to conduct a reconnect. With this you can
have multiple ongoing contract requests without hitting that issue and
we can go back to having a nice 3s timeout on the history queries before
activating the hack.

+- supports option charts

+
+
+config

+In order to get order mode support your ``brokers.toml``
+needs to have something like the following:

+
+    [deribit]
+    key_id = 'XXXXXXXX'
+    key_secret = 'Xx_XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx'
+
+To obtain an api id and secret you need to create an account, which can be a
+real market account over at:
+
+    - deribit.com  (requires KYC for deposit address)
+
+Or a testnet account over at:
+
+    - test.deribit.com
+
+For testnet once the account is created here is how you deposit fake crypto to
+try it out:
+
+1) Go to Wallet:
+
+.. figure:: assets/0_wallet.png
+    :align: center
+    :target: assets/0_wallet.png

+coins to that address.

+--------------
+more or less the "everything broker" for traditional and international
+markets. they are the "go to" provider for automatic retail trading
+and we interface to their APIs using the `ib_insync` project.

+status
+******
+current support is *production grade* and both real-time data and order
+management should be correct and fast. this backend is used by core devs
+for live trading.
+
+currently there is not yet full support for:
+- options charting and trading
+- paxos based crypto rt feeds and trading
+
+

+******
+current support is *production grade* and both real-time data and order
+management should be correct and fast. this backend is used by core devs
+for live trading.
+
+
+config
+******
+In order to get order mode support your ``brokers.toml``
+needs to have something like the following:
+
+.. code:: toml
+
+   [kraken]
+   accounts.spot = 'spot'
+   key_descr = "spot"
+   api_key = "69696969696969696696969696969696969696969696969696969696"
+   secret = "BOOBSBOOBSBOOBSBOOBSBOOBSSMBZ69696969696969669969696969696"
+
+
+If everything works correctly you should see any current positions
+loaded in the pps pane on chart load and you should also be able to
+check your trade records in the file::
+
+    <pikerk_conf_dir>/ledgers/trades_kraken_spot.toml
+
+
+An example ledger file will have entries written verbatim from the
+trade events schema:
+
+.. code:: toml
+
+    [TFJBKK-SMBZS-VJ4UWS]
+    ordertxid = "SMBZSA-7CNQU-3HWLNJ"
+    postxid = "SMBZSE-M7IF5-CFI7LT"
+    pair = "XXMRZEUR"
+    time = 1655691993.4133966
+    type = "buy"
+    ordertype = "limit"
+    price = "103.97000000"
+    cost = "499.99999977"
+    fee = "0.80000000"
+    vol = "4.80907954"
+    margin = "0.00000000"
+    misc = ""
+
+
+your ``pps.toml`` file will have position entries like,
+
+.. code:: toml
+
+   [kraken.spot."xmreur.kraken"]
+   size = 4.80907954
+   ppu = 103.97000000
+   bsuid = "XXMRZEUR"
+   clears = [
+    { tid = "TFJBKK-SMBZS-VJ4UWS", cost = 0.8, price = 103.97, size = 4.80907954, dt = "2022-05-20T02:26:33.413397+00:00" },
