jonathanwu906 77caa034e3 Add Python version of IndicatorVolatilityModelAlgorithm (#9580)
Port the C# regression algorithm demonstrating IndicatorVolatilityModel
usage, including how to reset and warm up the indicator on splits and
dividends to avoid volatility jumps from price discontinuities, and
enable the Python variant in the regression test suite.

Closes #6375
