Title: Improved documentation and some consistency impovements

I've implemented a few things here, but mostly documentation improvements. The SciPy check has been moved to the interpolate function (following Tom R.'s precedent in astropy/nddata/convolution.py), and I have split the `slice` function up into `slice_index` and `slice_dispersion`. Upon splitting them I realised that a true `slice` function should probably belong to the `NDData` class since there are numerous things to slice simultanously: `data`, `error`, `masks`, and all the flags in whatever `FlagCollection`-type container that Tom comes up with.

Once the NDData API starts expanding I will update this and open a separate PR when everything is all consistent and testable. For the moment though, these improvements are largely documentation-based.
