Docstring fix for `savetxt`
BUG: Ensure MaskedArray.flat can access single items
BLD: remove cython c source from git

Instead generate at build time. The generated sources are still part of
the sdist.
tools/cythonize.py is copied from SciPy with small changes to the
configuration.
ENH: add a 'return_counts=' keyword argument to `np.unique`

This PR adds a new keyword argument to `np.unique` that returns the
number of times each unique item comes up in the array. This allows
replacing a typical numpy construct:

    unq, _ = np.unique(a, return_inverse=True)
    unq_counts = np.bincount(_)

with a single line of code:

    unq, unq_counts = np.unique(a, return_counts=True)

As a plus, it runs faster, because it does not need the extra
operations required to produce `unique_inverse`.
ENH: disable OpenBLAS affinity settings

OpenBLAS starts as many threads as it can and assigns them to cpus
This includes the main thread Python is running in.
This means any threads or processes Python starts must all share this
cpu, nullifying any parallization efforts.
Luckily this behaviour can be disabled via an environment variable which
we need to set before loading dotblas which may be linked to OpenBLAS.
Libraries loading BLAS before numpy are stills screwed.
