CLN: Refactor string methods and add PandasObject

Previous PandasObject becomes PandasContainer. New PandasObject becomes
baseclass for more elements (like Index, Categorical, etc.), moves
string methods to baseclass and subclassing objects need only define
`__unicode__` methods to get all string methods for free (and Py2/3
compatible).

CLN: Cleanup extraneous str methods from Panel

CLN: Change name of TestPandasObjects --> TestPandasContainer
CLN: Make more core objects inherit PandasObject
CLN: Make Categorical inherit from PandasObject

Plus get all the string methods working...

CLN: Index now a PandasObject + str method cleanup
