fix: v3.1.1 - Test suite compatibility and cache improvements

## Fixed
- Updated test references from old cache variables to new optimized ones (_instrument_cache -> _opt_instrument_cache)
- Fixed datetime serialization/deserialization in cached DataFrames to preserve timezone information
- Resolved BatchedWebSocketHandler flush mechanism with event-based signaling
- Fixed race condition in BatchedWebSocketHandler task creation
- Corrected SignalR mock methods in connection management tests (AsyncMock -> MagicMock)

## Improved
- Enhanced datetime handling in msgpack cache with proper timezone preservation
- More robust cache deserialization with fallback handling
- Better datetime string format compatibility

## Tests
- All 438 tests now passing
- Added comprehensive test coverage for new cache implementation
- Fixed all test suite compatibility issues with optimized cache

This release ensures full test suite compatibility with the v3.1.0 performance optimizations.
