[FEATURE]: Population per state/year on IBGE

[fccoelho]

The dataSUS FTP has this info in the directory /dissemin/publicos/IBGE/pop

This should me made accessible via the IBGE module

Gotta be careful with how these projections are done, however.

I've implemented the populacao_estimada.py script which finds, downloads and converts/normalizes data from IBGE. It currently downloads and normalizes estimates only but I'm willing to also add support for census data. Maybe we can reuse some of that code here.
The result CSVs are hosted on repository, so you can check if it has the information you need (it can download more than one estimate for year, if available).

Interesting because it pulls from IBGE FTP server directly. What we are doing so far is to use the data collected made available by DATASUS.

I think it is worth to integrate your script as well, and make available both sets of estimates, because sometimes people have reasons to stick with one or the other source. Also, the estimating methodologies for non-census years may be different. @luabida can you take a Look at @turicas code?

It would be nice to adapt the code to use the same strategy to scan the FTP server direcly as we do in PySUS for the DATASUS FTP server, instead of relying on a list of hardcoded urls for the xls files.

The list of XLS files is hard-coded just because I didn't want to scrape everytime I run the script (since it does not change very often), but I implemented the code to extract the URLs automatically (so you don't need to rely on that hard-coded dict).

Finished on #193, the code can be seen here
