* HistoryContainer can now grow
dynamically. [PR412](https://github.com/quantopian/zipline/pull/412)
Calls to `history` will now be able to increase the size or change the shape
of the history container to be able to service the call. `add_history` now
acts as a preformance hint to pre-allocate sufficient space in the
container. This change is backwards compatible with `history`, all existing
algorithms should continue to work as intended.

* Simple transforms ported from quantopian and use history.

> SIDData now has methods for:
> - `stddev`
> - `mavg`
> - `vwap`
> - `returns`
> These methods, except for `returns`, accept a number of days. If you are
> running with minute data, then this will calculate the number of minutes in
> those days, accounting for early closes and the current time and apply the
> transform over the set of minutes. `returns` takes no parameters and will
> return the daily returns of the given security.
> Example:
> ```
> # The standard deviation of the price in the last 3 days.
> data[security].stdev(3)
> ```
