Title: Allows data downloads when installed as root

Fixes #11. We allow data to be when installed when installed as root, by downloading to a `.zipline/data` directory. Not sure if this is the best long term solution, but it will unblock people who are installing to /site-packages/.

The above also opens up the path to providing updates to help #13.

Adds requests module to setup.py for #12, so that `pip install zipline` pulls in the dependency.
