Title: Docs/automodapi extension

This adds a new sphinx extension that automatically creates "autosummary" style tables based on the public attributes in a package/module. It also adds a "automodapi" sphinx directive that can be used to quickly generate a canonical api style that we would presumably adopt for most astropy packages.

To see the extension in action, build the docs from this branch, and look at the "Reference/API" section of the "Configuration system Documentation" section of the documentation.

If this goes through, I'll use it to refactor and clean up the documentation to have uniform API sections (except for vo and pywcs, given that they're already in-place and would probably be complicated to adjust).
