BUG: set needs-init flag for unicode dtype

Python >= 3.3 does not like printing garbage unicode so printing
np.empty(x, 'U') can throw UnicodeDecode errors.
It is probably easier to just require initializing the dtype as a whole
instead of trying to catching the decode error on all places where it
might occur. Hopefully 0 is a valid code in all codecs.
Closes gh-4994.
ENH: Implement sys.getsizeof(x) for arrays and scalars.

Fixes #2279. Stubs/declares __sizeof__ method to use nbytes attribute.
ENH: add dimensions and strides to _sizeof__ and handle not owning data
ENH: remove unnecessary copy of convolve inputs
