[GNC] Yahoo Closed the Door on Finance API

Some of us suspected this would come, getting reports of the Yahoo URL 
https://query2.finance.yahoo.com/v11/finance/quoteSummary/AAPL?modules=price,summaryDetail,defaultKeyStatistics 
and 
https://query2.finance.yahoo.com/v10/finance/quoteSummary/AAPL?modules=price,summaryDetail,defaultKeyStatistics 
now returning a 404 (v11) or "Unauthorized" (v10).

Sorry to say this, but more than likely the YahooJSON module (aka 
yahoo_json) is going to be removed from Finance::Quote in the next 
release. This is not to say that if someone can figure out a way to 
successfully access Yahoo's https://query2.finance.yahoo.com/v?... APIs, 
please pass on that info or better yet, have a go at reworking the 
current module.

There is already an issue raised on F::Q's GitHub, 
https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/issues/318. Please 
refrain from "me too" comments. Unfortunately as I said in the previous 
paragraph, this issue will likely be resolved by removing the module.
