[GNC] coalesce the stock accounts in the report

[R Losey]

I have a similar setup, whereby I have "BBB" (and others) in multiple
brokers... so, in GnuCash, the "BBB" account is "Bank1-BBB" and
"Bank2-BBB", even though the stock is "BBB".

I have had no problems transferring stock between accounts.
