CLN/INT: remove Index as a sub-class of NDArray

make ``Index`` now subclass ``PandasObject/IndexOpsMixin`` rather than ``ndarray``
should allow much easier new Index classes (e.g. #7640)

This doesn't change the public API at all, and provides compat (with exception of a very minor ``DatetimeIndex`` comparison with ndarrays)

closes #5080, preserves pickle compat for >= 0.8.0
back compat for pickles is now way simpler

This removed pickle compat for < 0.8.0 (well I think it does but can't really prove it). maybe can add it back if strong interest.

ToDo:

- docs
  - [x] release note
  - [x] warnings in io.rst about this change
  - [x] pickle compat now > 0.8.0
  - [x] fixes ``.repeat`` on MultiIndex (broken in master)
  - [x] minor API compat issue with comparisons of ``DatetimeIndex`` with ``NaT`` vs ndarrays
- [x] merge with searchsorted issues/PR ( #6712, #7447, #6469)
- [x] tests fixed (FIXMES), just a few left
- [x] perf
- [x] json completely broken ATM
- [x] #7796 FIXME (PeriodIndex not supported in HDF), not really a big deal
- [x] #7439 since ``Index`` now doesn't have implicit ops (aside from ``__sub__/__add__``, these need to be added in (e.g. ``__mul__,__div__,__truediv__``).
- [x] bool(Index/MultiIndex) : https://github.com/pydata/pandas/issues/7897 (will address this later)

closes #5155 (perf fix for Period creation), slight increase on the plotting
because of the the plottling routines holding array of Periods (rather than PeriodIndex).

I'd like to take the opportunity and strongly advise against `except:` constructs I've seen a lot in the sources: among other things it catches `KeyboardInterrupt` and `SystemExit`, and *usually* it's not nice to have them pass silently.  It's better to use `except Exception:` instead.
