Add build status badge from main Shining Panda build
Fixes #996 for now by somewhat improving how column attributes are handled through the ColDefs class.  This caused one test to break, but the behavior expected by the test didn't make much sense to begin with, and the new behavior is much more in line with sensible user expectations.

When passing data to CFITSIO for compression, it must be in native endianness, however, the logic for determining when to do that was wrong for big-endian machines.
VOTable binary format is always in big-endian format.  The logic for determining when to byteswap from memory to the bytestream was wrong on big-endian machines.
Fix the dtype comparison so it is correct on big-endian machines

Should fix #878.  iterating over a Quantity now returns a generator
which is nice, and a little preferable over relying on ``__getitem__`.
Also fixed ``isiterable()`` to better catch false positives in cases
like Numpy arrays and Quantities, where they implement ``__iter__``, but
it can raise a ``TypeError`` in certain cases.
Use the property.setter method here
Register a few classes as implementing certain built in collection types where appropriate
Added MAD and biweight estimators to stats
Updated the names of the biweight estimators to biweight_midvariance
and biweight_location.   Fixed an error in MAD related to compare
a None to 0.
