Issue: `getXY` for `DepletedMaterial` raises unhelpful value error if days missing from object
If a depleted material is asked to get some quantity for days that are not present, the following error is raised:
```
  File "C:\Users\ajohnson400\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\serpenttools-0.1.1rc0-py3.5.egg\serpentTools\objects\__init__.py", line 162, in getXY
    else allY[rowId][:])
ValueError: could not broadcast input array from shape (19) into shape (0)
```

The value of `colIndices` is an empty list for this case.
Pull request description: Fixes #3; Cleaned up reader subclasses
If the reader requests days that are not present on the depleted material through the getXY method, a key error is raised. Added a unit test to verify this fix.

Fixes #3
