Consider installing dshelpers on boxes to remove need for requirements install

[StevenMaude]

There are bits of JavaScript and a shell script to install requirements if necessary, and to check if they are installed every time the get symbols button is pressed (see #2). These could be removed entirely if dshelpers is installed on the platform. dshelpers is the only dependency that's actually installed with pip; the other requirements are already present.

This would (slightly) speed up the process of getting the list of tickers, and allow some pruning of the code.

Yeah, I'm generally in favour of as much as possible being in basejail.

Others disagree!
