"""
Correctly merge informative samples to the original dataframe, avoiding lookahead bias.
Since dates are candle open dates, merging a 15m candle that starts at 15:00, and a
1h candle that starts at 15:00 will result in all candles to know the close at 16:00
which they should not know.
Moves the date of the informative pair by 1 time interval forward.
This way, the 14:00 1h candle is merged to 15:00 15m candle, since the 14:00 1h candle is the
last candle that's closed at 15:00, 15:15, 15:30 or 15:45.
Assuming inf_tf = '1d' - then the resulting columns will be:
date_1d, open_1d, high_1d, low_1d, close_1d, rsi_1d
:param dataframe: Original dataframe
:param informative: Informative pair, most likely loaded via dp.get_pair_dataframe
:param timeframe: Timeframe of the original pair sample.
:param timeframe_inf: Timeframe of the informative pair sample.
