MAINT: Remove environment as an argument to benchmark source.
To allow the BenchmarkSource class to be more easily used in contexts other than
a TradingAlgorithm, remove the TradingEnvironment as an argument to the
benchmark source.
Instead:
- Pass a benchmark Asset, instead of a bencmark sid; so that the asset_finder
does not need to be passed to the benchmark source.
- Pass the pre-calculated benchmark_returns instead of an env,
which contains the benchmark_returns; a consumer can let the benchmark_returns
stay as the default of `None` when using an asset.
We may want to further refactor and make two different classes, instead of
relying on a combination of existence/non-existence of benchmark_asset and
benchmark_returns. That refactoring should be easier to do with this change.
This allows us to remove the check for whether the provided dt had a
time of midnight, which was a flimsy way to infer if the data frequency
was 'daily'. Besides the explicit check being preferable, this method
was broken on the futures calendar, since midnight is a valid market
minute.
Instead of having separate ExchangeCalendar and TradingSchedule objects, we
now just have TradingCalendar. The TradingCalendar keeps track of each
session (defined as a contiguous set of minutes between an open and a close).
It's also responsible for handling the grouping logic of any given minute
to its containing session, or the next/previous session if it's not a market
minute for the given calendar.
