Cannot discern which stock the bar update is for with stream API #67

Description When I subscribe to the "bars" updates for a set of stocks, I want to be able to listen to updates with stream.on("bar", (bar) => {}); but the issue is that the Bar type does not contain any information about which stock this bar is for. So when I listen for bar updates I have no idea which stock these updates are for.

In the alpaca documentation however, it seems to say that the JSON returned for Bar objects contains a property S which is the symbol name.

Yeah it appears they did not have that field at the time of initial beta release. I've added it in the latest version and tested locally to confirm.

Thanks for the quick turnaround!
