Stewart Douglas b24bd561e7 BUG: Stop account_needs_update from blocking performance updates
Referencing context.account in handle_data() can block updates to account,
portfolio and performance metrics, which can cause unintended changes in
financial performance. Additionally, since context.account metrics are not
updating frequenctly enough (daily, rather than minutely) algos which base
decisions on these metrics can have undesired behavior.

To address this we do not base our decision to update performance on the
state of account_needs_update.

When we call get_account() from the market and minute close methods, we
set the performance_needs_update parameter to False since we just updated
performance.

_get_account() is renamed to _update_account() since the method does not
return account information.

Also remove redundant asset_needs_update = True lines.

Performance Tracking
====================
+-----------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| key | value |
+=================+====================================================+
| period_start | The beginning of the period to be tracked. datetime|
| | in pytz.utc timezone. Will always be 0:00 on the |
| | date in UTC. The fact that the time may be on the |
| | prior day in the exchange's local time is ignored |
+-----------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| period_end | The end of the period to be tracked. datetime |
| | in pytz.utc timezone. Will always be 23:59 on the |
| | date in UTC. The fact that the time may be on the |
| | next day in the exchange's local time is ignored |
+-----------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| progress | percentage of test completed |
+-----------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| capital_base | The initial capital assumed for this tracker. |
+-----------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| cumulative_perf | A dictionary representing the cumulative |
| | performance through all the events delivered to |
| | this tracker. For details see the comments on |
| | :py:meth:`PerformancePeriod.to_dict` |
+-----------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| todays_perf | A dictionary representing the cumulative |
| | performance through all the events delivered to |
| | this tracker with datetime stamps between last_open|
| | and last_close. For details see the comments on |
| | :py:meth:`PerformancePeriod.to_dict` |
| | TODO: adding this because we calculate it. May be |
