Title: Fixes to work with latest pandas master

Recent changes in [https://github.com/pydata/pandas](pandas/master) broke a couple things in GeoPandas.

A workaround for forcing the constructor to return a `GeoSeries` object is no longer necessary, and in fact now leads to inifinite recursion. A call to `numpy.putmask` was failing because `pandas.core.Series` no longer inherits from `numpy.ndarray`. Also added a more specific test for the `fillna()` method.
