Description

Here is my command line :

lean backtest "test_lean" --extra-docker-config "{""Volumes"": {""/stock_data"": {""bind"": ""c:\\_stock_data"", ""mode"": ""rw""}}}" --verbose --debug debugpy
it won't show any error, but when I paused in debug and login into docker container, the /stock_data has no data, also checked the container volume, it don't have the stock_data volume.

Also hope this option can also add to 'lean live', 'lean research` command line, so that we can use external data in all stage.

Thanks

Research direction

Start by tracing the lean backtest handling of --extra-docker-config on Windows command prompt and PowerShell, then inspect how the supplied volume configuration reaches the Docker container. Compare the requested lean live and lean research command support. Done means the /stock_data volume is mounted with the shown configuration and external data works in the requested stages.
