Title: io.ascii for release 0.1

This PR includes a version of io.ascii and associated docs that are nominally ready for the 0.1 release.

- As mentioned this breaks compatibility with asciitable 0.8.0.
- Closes #198 (io.ascii now outputs Table by default)
- Removed code related to handling numpy not being available.
- Removed some early asciitable code / options that are no longer needed
- Use `Table()` as a preprocessor for all data input to `ascii.write()`. This makes `io.ascii` fully consistent with `Table()`.
- Reworked the docs a lot for improved clarity and simplicity.
- Moved docs from `docs/ascii` to `docs/io/ascii`
- Preview docs at http://hea-www.harvard.edu/~aldcroft/tmp/astropy/html/io/ascii/index.html
