.clearing._ems: Don't require `first_quote['last']`

Instead just check for the field (which i'm not huge on the key-name for
anyway) and if not found get the "last price" from the real-time shm
buffer's latest 'close' sample.

Unrelatedly, use a `subs.copy()` in the `Router.client_broadcast()` loop
such that if a `client_stream` is popped on connection failure, we don't
RTE for the "size changed on iteration".
