    Generate semi-realistic looking time series data for testing analytics graphs.

        frequency is CountStat.DAY.

        time series, if frequency is CountStat.HOUR (CountStat.DAY, respectively).
    non_business_hours_base -- The above, for non-business hours/days.
    growth -- Ratio between average values at end of time series and beginning of time series.
    autocorrelation -- Makes neighboring data points look more like each other. At 0 each
        point is unaffected by the previous point, and at 1 each point is a deterministic
        function of the previous point.
    spikiness -- 0 means no randomness (other than holiday_rate), higher values increase
        the variance.
    holiday_rate -- Fraction of days randomly set to 0, largely for testing how we handle 0s.
