Title: WIP: Sklearn tutorial

Initial PR. Several things need to be addressed before merge:

1. Typos and proof-reading
2. Pieces of this material duplicate what @jaquesgrobler has added in other tutorial sections. This needs to be addressed.
3. This uses several data loaders which are built in to the example files. These should be moved to `sklearn/datasets`. I also need to double-check that these datasets will exist in long-term http locations.
4. Currently the tutorial is a bit of a nightmare when it comes to doctests. The doctest code which works with large datasets needs to be changed to prevent the datasets from being inadvertently downloaded. Also, several snippets create matplotlib plots, which shouldn't happen in doc tests.

I'll have more significant time to invest in this around the end of June. If others could help with review and feedback in the meantime, I would greatly appreciate it!
