Renames zipline.utils.test_utils to zipline.testing
Adds zipline.testing.fixtures.ZiplineTestCase to manage setup and
teardown and adds mixins to define fixtures like an asset finder or
trading calendar.

loaders
This allows people to set their cutoff time to the time they will
actually execute 'before_trading_start'. Currently this is just passed
to the constructor of the loader; however, I would like to make this
managed by the algorithm simulation runner. This would help keep all of
the loaders in sync and lock 'before_trading_start's execution to the
time the data is queried for.
EarningsCalendar loader.
- Moves most of AdjustedArray back into Python. The window iterator is
the only part that's performance-intensive.
- Adds a bootleg templating system for creating specialized versions of
AdjustedArrayWindow for each concrete type we care about.
- Adds support for differently dtyped terms in pipeline. This allows us
to use datetime64s which are needed in the EarningsCalendar.
- Adds EarningsCalendar dataset for the next and previous earnings
announcements in pipeline.
- Adds in memory loader for EarningsCalendar.
- Adds blaze loader for EarningsCalendar.
Adds tests asserting that we resolve conflicts in accordance with the
following rules when we have multiple assets holding the same symbol at
the same time:
If multiple SIDs exist for symbol S at time T, return the candidate
SID whose start_date is highest. (200 cases)
If multiple SIDs exist for symbol S at time T, the best candidate
SIDs share the highest start_date, return the SID with the highest
end_date. (34 cases)
It is the opinion of the author (ssanderson) that we should consider
this malformed input and fail here. But this is the current indended
behavior of the code, and I accidentally broke it while refactoring.
These will serve as regression tests until the time comes that we
decide to enforce this as an error.
