Eddie Hebert 4c761c6708 Prevents entire data panel being collapsed when a stock stops trading.
The call to `Panel.dropna` after the fillna was deleting all values,
if a stock stopped trading mid run and thus provided volume 0.

i.e. if any sid had 0 non-null values the entire panel of frames
would be truncated.

It's possible to avoid the collapse via by adding the `how='all'` flag
to `dropna`, however with the current tick based creation of the panel,
the `dropna` with `how='all'` should be functionally equivalent to
not dropping at all.

The dropna has been dropped in favor of leaving the drop to algorithm
code.

There are two ways to create a new batch window:
(i) Inherit from BatchTransform and overload get_value(data).
E.g.:
```
class MyBatchTransform(BatchTransform):
def get_value(self, data):
# compute difference between the means of sid 0 and sid 1
return data[0].mean() - data[1].mean()
```
(ii) Use the batch_transform decorator.
E.g.:
```
@batch_transform
def my_batch_transform(data):
return data[0].mean() - data[1].mean()
```
In your algorithm you would then have to instantiate
this in the initialize() method:
```
self.my_batch_transform = MyBatchTransform()
```
To then use it, inside of the algorithm handle_data(), call the
handle_data() of the BatchTransform and pass it the current event:
```
