ENH: Add an "axis" kwarg to numpy.unique

Description
----------------
Adds an ``axis`` kwarg to ``numpy.unique`` so that ``unique`` can easily be used to find unique rows/columns/sub-arrays/etc of a larger ndarray.

Rationale
-------------
There is often a need to find unique rows/columns/etc of an array.  However, ``numpy.unique`` currently operates only on the flattened array, and returns unique elements.  It is possible to work around this in several ways (e.g. viewing each row/column/etc as a structured array or a void dtype the size of the row/column in question).  However, each of these work-arounds requires a fairly in-depth knowledge of numpy.  Having an ``axis`` kwarg to ``unique`` makes this operation much simpler.

Examples
--------------

    In [1]: import numpy as np

    In [2]: a = np.array([[1, 0, 1], [0, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0]])

    In [3]: a
    Out[3]: 
    array([[1, 0, 1],
           [0, 1, 0],
           [0, 1, 0],
           [0, 1, 0]])

    In [4]: np.unique(a)
    Out[4]: array([0, 1])

    In [5]: np.unique(a, axis=0)
    Out[5]: 
    array([[0, 1, 0],
           [1, 0, 1]])

    In [6]: np.unique(a, axis=1)
    Out[6]: 
    array([[0, 1],
           [1, 0],
           [1, 0],
           [1, 0]])

    In [7]: b = np.dstack([a]*3).T

    In [8]: b
    Out[8]: 
    array([[[1, 0, 0, 0],
            [0, 1, 1, 1],
            [1, 0, 0, 0]],

           [[1, 0, 0, 0],
            [0, 1, 1, 1],
            [1, 0, 0, 0]],

           [[1, 0, 0, 0],
            [0, 1, 1, 1],
            [1, 0, 0, 0]]])

    In [9]: np.unique(b, axis=0)
    Out[9]: 
    array([[[1, 0, 0, 0],
            [0, 1, 1, 1],
            [1, 0, 0, 0]]])
