twiecki f5086e4b0e ENH: Add IPython cell magic.
When zipline is imported it checks whether
it runs in the IPython notebook. If it does,
it registers a %%zipline magic that takes the
same arguments as the CLI with the addition of
a -o for specifying the output variable to store
the performance frame in.

The algo code in the cell is, as of yet, executed
in its own environment rather than that of the
IPython NB which is probably what we want.

Also adds cli option to save the perf dataframe
to a pickle file.

Also adds an IPython notebook buyapple example.

"""Dual Moving Average Crossover algorithm.
This algorithm buys apple once its short moving average crosses
its long moving average (indicating upwards momentum) and sells
its shares once the averages cross again (indicating downwards
momentum).
