addition of python functions for pairwise local and global alignment 

Ready for review for merge. I'll likely make some behind-the-scenes changes in the future, like possibly creating an ``Aligner`` class, but that shouldn't affect interface so I'd like to do in a separate PR. The goal of this one is to get usable functionality in place. @ebolyen, it'd be good to have you review the interface for consistency with the SSW code. Also, I think we'll likely end up with a merge conflict in the docs in ``alignment/__init__.py``, but that should be easy to address.

Can you use `zip` that's defined in `future` here and below (line 501)? See [this section](http://scikit-bio.org/docs/latest/development/py3.html#iterators) of the py2/py3 guide.
