Remove module scope invocations of `get_calendar('NYSE')`, which cuts
zipline import time in half on my machine. This make the zipline CLI
noticeably more responsive, and it reduces memory consumed at import
time from 130MB to 90MB.
Before:
$ time python -c 'import zipline'
real 0m1.262s
user 0m1.128s
sys 0m0.120s
After:
$ time python -c 'import zipline'
real 0m0.676s
user 0m0.536s
sys 0m0.132s
Instead of having separate ExchangeCalendar and TradingSchedule objects, we
now just have TradingCalendar. The TradingCalendar keeps track of each
session (defined as a contiguous set of minutes between an open and a close).
It's also responsible for handling the grouping logic of any given minute
to its containing session, or the next/previous session if it's not a market
minute for the given calendar.
