Eddie Hebert 5f9d0a148d BUG: Prevent out of order history arrays.
Fix a bug where if history were called with assets `[1, 2]` and then
subsequently, `[2, 1]`, the loader would return the cached array in
order for `[1, 2]`.

Instead cache an AdjustedArray for each asset, then when a history
window is requested, check if each asset has a sufficient cache, and if
not then read values for the assets which are missing or need to be
refreshed.

An added benefit of this change is that if a subsequent call to history
has a smaller number of assets than the previous, no new data needs to
be read from disk. e.g. a call with assets `[1, 2, 3]` and then `[1, 2]`
would use the cached values for `1` and `2` from the first call.

Conversely, if the second call has more assets, then only the data for
the new assets needs to be retrieved. e.g. a history with `[1, 2]`, then
`[1, 2, 3]` would only need (assuming `1` and `2` have not expired) to
retrieve data for `3`. Unfortunately, the benefit here is not great
because `load_raw_arrays` is optimized for reading many assets, and
pulls the entire daily bar dataset into memory. This change makes tuning
`load_raw_arrays` so that faster reads (e.g. by slicing from the carray
for each asset, instead of pulling all data into a numpy array), when
only a few assets are requested, more beneficial than it would have been
previously.
