Use requests instead of urllib for remote connections

Ghost User requested to merge github/fork/duncanmmacleod/requests into master

This PR modifies the gwosc.api.fetch_json function (the only thing that actually does any remote data access) to use requests.get instead of urllib.request.urlopen - it handles certificates and a bunch of other things better.

This actually resolves the appveyor issues that prompted #48,#50 in the first place.

This should resolve issues in the gwpy appveyor builds.
