ENH: linalg: sqrtm matrix square root speedup with tests and informal benchmarks
ENH: informal sqrtm benchmark
MAINT: remove redundant code
MAINT: use more vectorization
stats: fix explicit formulas for the dlaplace stats
stats: replace a print() with a warning
add a test
Merge pull request #2563 from bburlo/print_warn

MAINT: stats: replace a print() with a warning
MAINT: rename test data files with invalid filenames on Windows. Closes gh-2558
tweak tests
BUG: runtests: pass extra arguments properly to Nose
MAINT: stats:  Use special.xlogy to compute entropy of discrete distributions.

This simplifies the code, and avoids spurious RuntimeWarnings that can occur
when a probability is 0.
