[GNC] Price update not working

[R Losey]

Hi... yes, I did not have al ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY and that was the issue.
Things now seem to be updating properly.

It is supposed to take so long? There is a long (7 minute) delay before the
update finishes... I've been using the gnucash-cli command line.
