The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:

Add YH Finance (FINANCEAPI) API Key to Quotes infrastructure with a preference in the Online Quotes page and add financeapi to known sources.
Move copied_class and copied_leader_guid
Move static copied_class and static copied_leader_guid to be part of the copied_item structure. This makes it more evident that calling clear_copied_item needs to be called before copied_item is used.
[gnc-datetime] improve CSV date parser with ICU and Boost.
Add dateformat "Locale" with ICU; uses current locale for date parsing. ICU's locale date parser may parse "3 May 2023" or "2024年9月13日" (LC_TIME=zh_TW.utf8) and maybe others.
Augment d-m-y m-d-y and y-m-d with boost UK/US/ISO parsers. This allows CSV import of dates with months as words as "30 Sep 2023" or "May 4, 1978" or "2023-Dec-25". Note boost parser cannot recognise 2-digit years, therefore "30 Sep 24" is invalid.
Csv Import - improve assisant's introduction page
Correctly handle uncommitted edits when opening a file from history.
Don't use gnc_difftime and deprecate it because it casts time64 to doubles
[gnc-pricedb.h] remove unused gnc_pricedb_substitute_commodity
[gnc-pricedb.h] remove unused gnc_pricedb_lookup_at_time64
