ENH: added parameter to use periodic x-coordinates

Using the example given in the current `np.interp()` and changing the intervals to be interpolated to:

    xvals = np.linspace(-np.pi, +np.pi, 50)

will lead to the following result:

note how the proposed enhancement allows a proper interpolation. The only change is the addition of a `period` parameter:

    yinterp_new = interp(xvals, x, y, period=2*np.pi)

More backticks, also this error message should exactly match the one in `compiled_interp`, see my previous link.
