members' equity: split undistributed earnings cumulatively

A capital account is one running balance (Form 1065 Schedule K-1
instructions, Item L: beginning and ending capital "based on the
partnership's books and records"), but the statement split prior
earnings and the period's income separately, so a member's ending on one
statement could differ by a cent from their beginning on the next.

Now each member's share of undistributed earnings is allocated as of a
date (largest remainder, as before): beginning as of the day before the
period, ending as of its last day. A member's period income is the
roll-forward's remainder (their share within a rounding cent); incomes
still sum to net income. New property
each_members_capital_chains_across_statements (random books, odd-cent
shares, closes to members or not, any split date) fails on the old code
and passes now. The hand-computed test is recomputed: the old split gave
two cents off an even 50/50 to date.

Also: rules.md B-13 quotes Item L; docs/testing.md #7 and #8 marked
changed; the CPA-question list is replaced by the rule that wanderbooks
settles questions from the sources and makes real choices per-company
settings.

-Questions for Krista Baker (CPA):
-
-1. Interim members' equity: is a per-member allocation of unclosed
-   earnings acceptable on interim statements, or should the books close
-   monthly so the capital accounts carry it?
-2. How should 2100 Due to Shareholders, and expenses the owners paid
-   personally, appear on the cash flow statement: operating, financing,
-   or as a non-cash disclosure (ASC 230-10-50-3, not yet read)?
+Questions are settled from the sources, not by any one company's CPA
+(wanderbooks is general software). Where the standards leave a real
+choice, it is a per-company setting with a sourced default, for that
+company's accountant to review: the cash flow account roles (rules.md
+B-14) are the first.
