tiger geocoder: Make loader_generate_script download portion less greedyy
The current loader_generate_script function is a bit greedy in its wget calls. For each state it downloads all the census data for that state. Most of these tables like water, census blocks, faces_al/ah aren't even used for geocoding.
It should only download the tables that fit the pattern of the tables in the loader_lookuptables (where load=true) since these are the only ones that are processed by the loader. This will allow people to add additional tables for processing if they care to, but also minimize on unnecessary waiting for files that aren't even used to be downloaded.

I actually have this done in tiger 2011, but waiting till trunk changes to 2.1 before I commit. New version will only download files used by geocoder (or planned for use).
New tiger is in spike for now.
