Added scraper for historical maps from the Universiteitsbilbliotheek Utrecht #36

This scraper retrieves the dataset as described here: http://www.opencultuurdata.nl/wiki/universiteitsbibliotheek-utrecht-kaarten/

An important obstacle I came across was the fact that an extra call to a different resource was needed to get the URL to the original image file. I solved this by adding an http request and XML parser to the UUKaartenItem class. This works, but might not be the most neat or correct way of dealing with such issues. I would like to hear the opinion of others on this subject.

Because this commit is dependent on the previous commit, it also contains the commit from PR #35.

Whatever it says, it's not in there at all.
