Fix for pandas 1.0 (#124)

* as_matrix was depricated then removed. to_numpy() works in this situation

* updated travis to include pandas 1.0.x, python 3.7 numpy 1.18 and scipy 1.4.x - kept a python 2.7 with the last supported versions of pydata.

* versions compatible with conda for travis

* old scipy and numpy

* old scipy and numpy

* old scipy and numpy

* who uses 3.5 anyway

* try except branch to support old pandas as required by zipline

* as_matrix() not to_matrix() - thanks again Travis.
