Closes #18

Changes proposed in this Pull Request

Added functionality to download world population data: mainly copy-pasted from pypsa-earth with some minor adjustments. Only a approach basic approach is currently implemented: to load data on 1x1km raster, although using of fine resolution (100x100 m) can be probably also of interest.

Checklist

As a double check, would be nice to understand a purpose of size_min argument. As far as I understand, it is needed as a sanity check for the loaded data, but I'm not quite sure in which exactly cases it's needed.
