Bugfix | moose.Streamer streams to numpy format correctly (BhallaLab#395

)

* saving data to npy format in streamer is now bug free. Added three tests: 2 python and 1 at cpp level.

* boost::filesystem is no longer used even when boost is used.

* Default tick for Streamer is 10s.

* Able to run nml2 example with python3 (BhallaLab/moose#253).
