Minutely data can now be appended to bcolz files even when
minutes in the same day have already been written. For example,
previously attempting to write data for the minute 2016-05-11 16:30
would raise an exception if any OHLCV data for 2016-05-11 had been
written to the same file.
Trying to overwrite existing minutes still raises a
BcolzMinuteOverlappingData exception.
Note that previously all sids' bcolz files ended at the same time.
This is no longer necessarily the case. The last record in each
sid's bcolz file now corresponds to the latest minute for which
OHLCV data is provided to the writer.

This reverts commit df3b838d525bff5026eba1d81865c6645d534c88.
The previous algorithm assumed that the group labels were integers. It
produced nonsense with LabelArrays (though sadly didn't crash because
numpy promotes None and void to object).
- Return a value from `verify_all_indices_unique` so that `panel` isn't
unconditionally `None` in `PanelDailyBarReader`.
- Fix a bug where we always set the volume of every asset to `1e9`.
- Add minimal suite of tests for get_spot_value, which catch both of the
above.
NOTE: There are still several issues with `PanelDailyBarReader`. The
docstring for `get_spot_value` claims that it will return -1 on days
where an asset didn't trade, which isn't the case. It also claims that
it will raise `NoDataOnDate` when a request is made outside the panel
range, but it just raises a KeyError. We also still have no coverage
for `load_raw_arrays`, so it's likely that there are more bugs lurking.
Refactor AlgorithmSimulator so that DAY_END is emitted for both
minute and daily emission, and that handling of end-of-minute
and end-of-day are separated
We are now using isoformats with ':' replaced with ';'. We cannot use a
normal isoformat because windows does not allow files or directories
with ':' in the name.
This data bundle will use the quantopian mirror of the quandl WIKI data
instead of downloading from quandl directly. This dramatically improves
the speed because we do not pay the rate limiting for quandl and we can
send the data in the format zipline expects.
