APE7 - A plan for NDData

This is ready for review. Comments are solicited until **Friday 14th November** after which a vote will be taken on whether to accept or reject this APE.

(note, this has been renamed to APE7 since there is already an APE6 proposed in #7)
Just out of curiosity, what is the motivation for ``uncertainty_type`` as opposed to just checking the instance type of ``nd.uncertainty``?
