Title: PyFITS merge

This is a big merge of a lot of the work I've done on PyFITS over the last ~3 months since my last merge into Astropy.

I'm making a pull request for this since it's just such a big change and I want to give people a chance to give it a look. I don't think it should be a problem though. It's passing now on my staging builds.

This should also include a (short-term) fix for #248.

It also includes several documentation updates I've been wanting to get in before tackling some of the other docs issues in Astropy, such as #162 and #245.

This also includes the PyFITS FAQ that I wrote recently for PyFITS. There's still an unresolved issue as to what to do with this. A lot of it consists of very general installation/Python questions that might form a good basis for an Astropy FAQ. But other parts of it are very FITS-specific, and might want to stay in an astropy.io.fits FAQ...
