BUG: Fix bad error handling in history loader.

Fixes a bug where we'd fail to raise an error if the start/end of a
history window call don't aren't in the loader's calendar.

We were started dropping this error after a previous change swapped out
calls to `index.get_loc` with calls to `index.searchsorted` to avoid
creating hash tables in pandas.
