BUG: pass sharex and sharey in grouped_hist
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: Remove unnecessary string methods from frame
CLN: Make Categorical inherit from PandasObject
CLN: Remove extraneous __repr__ from io/excel
