Title: io.ascii

This is a preview pull-request for my rework of asciitable as astropy.io.ascii in order to enable initial review and discussion.

All tests pass on linux x86_64 py3.2 and py2.7, but I've just gotten a slew of emails that OSX10.7 is failing miserably on TR's jenkins server. Will need to investigate.

This code base is structured to allow rsync'ing of code and test files between standalone asciitable and astropy.io.ascii. Thus there are some things that might look awkward (and of course suggestions for improvement are welcome!). In addition asciitable supports 2.5 and doesn't require NumPy, so there are still more tests that look ugly.

On the plus side both asciitable (optionally) and astropy.io.ascii (by default) now take advantage of astropy.table.Table.

I have not touched the docs yet.
