BUG: GH3380 groupby will handle mutation on a DataFrame group's columns and fallback

     to non-fast apply

DOC: PTF
DOC: ref / val caveat, point at pandas methods

This in part addresses #3340.

I added a few comments in the doc that point users ad using the pandas
at, iat, loc, iloc, etc. methods and included an example similar to
the one exposed in #3340 that addresses some of the reference / value
intricaies encountered with pandas and numpy objects.

CLN: cleanup + edits - addresses recent discussion

CLN: cleanup II

CLN: wrap at 80 chars.

took care of both documents.
