Title: Changed seeder to accept URLs (including non-bundle file paths)

I use RKManagedObjectSeeder as a separate build step in releasing my app -- it is not used in production code.

I rely on a remote server for up-to-date data; with the current implementation, I was always `curl`ing JSON files locally and then running -- I wanted to automate the process and go out and get the URLs directly.

This change enables this, as well as enables you to load files that are not in the bundle.

The delegates are a bit wonky now (see the comments) -- if people think this patch is useful I'm happy to change it a bit to match the needs.

I don't think I'm the only one who has been limited by this, though:
