BUG: Avoid type promotion in tril and triu.
BUG: Fix typo in hermite_e.py.

The hermepow function was incorrectly listed in __all__ as hermpow.
STY: PEP8 fixes for files in numpy/polynomial.

The rather lax standards used in scipy were used to identify the
needed style fixups.
MAINT: Remove unused variables and imports in numpy/polynomial/*.py.

Detected by pyflakes.
STY: PEP8 fixes for numpy/polynomial/tests/*.py.

Made conformant with the standards of scipy.
MAINT: Fix blemishes in numpy/polynomial/tests revealed by pyflakes.
ENH: better error message for invalid axis and concatenate inputs

the old errors
np.concatenate(1,2)
TypeError: object of type 'int' has no len()

concatenate([1], [2])
TypeError: an integer is required

are not very unhelpful, add a new internal function that allows adding
some context to axis argument conversion failures and check for sequence
inputs in concatenate.
Closes gh-4923.
MAINT: Fix problems noted by pyflakes in numpy/lib/tests.
STY: PEP8 compliance for numpy/lib/tests.

The possibly controversial part of this is making the nested array
value lists PEP8 compliant, as there is something to be said aligning
the values for clarity. In the end, it seemed like the easiest thing
to do was to make them PEP8 compliant. The eye can get used to that.
MAINT: Fixes for problems in numpy/lib revealed by pyflakes.

Some of those problems look like potential coding errors. In those
cases a Fixme comment was made and the offending code, usually an
unused variable, was commented out.
STY: Make files in numpy/lib PEP8 compliant.

The rules enforced are the same as those used for scipy.
