[GNC] F::Q XAU & XAG quotes not retrieving for 2 years

[Adrien Monteleone]

Hmm... Seems that as of F::Q 1.53, Alphavantage mucked with getting 
CURRENCY_EXCHANGE_RATE with the free API, so F::Q switched to a FX_DAILY 
request that doesn't include Crypto or Precious Metals, but there is a 
note (in the Github Issues) that Aphavantage then reversed their 
decision so now presumably you can get those quotes with the free API key.

But I don't see any further info that as of 1.58 (current F::Q) that 
they have now switched back to CURRENCY_EXCHANGE_RATE.
