Chuck 8ae82321ce fix(install): add --prefer-binary to pip installs to avoid /tmp exhaustion (#272) ...

timezonefinder (~54 MB) includes large timezone polygon data files that pip
unpacks into /tmp during installation. On Raspberry Pi, the default tmpfs
/tmp size (often ~half of RAM) can be too small, causing the install to fail
with an out-of-space error.

Adding --prefer-binary tells pip to prefer pre-built binary wheels over
source distributions. Since timezonefinder and most other packages publish
wheels on PyPI (and piwheels.org has ARM wheels), this avoids the large
temporary /tmp extraction and speeds up installs generally.
