Initial custody adjustment transaction

The new INITIAL_CUSTODY_ADJUSTMENT transaction type records a portfolio's position in a security on a cut-off date, when there is no reliable history of transactions prior to that date. Use it instead of a simple buy: the dedicated type makes these adjustments easy to identify.

Send the new type to Create Transaction with the same fields as a regular transaction (transactDate, quantity, side, brokerId and security). The price field is optional: if it is not provided, Gorila uses the security's closing price on the transaction date.

{
  "type": "INITIAL_CUSTODY_ADJUSTMENT",
  "transactDate": "2023-04-11",
  "quantity": 300,
  "side": "BUY",
  "brokerId": "18945670000146",
  "security": {
    "id": 122720
  }
}

Transactions of this type are also returned by List Transactions and List Economic Group Transactions.
