Title: Fix unicode repr object

If you try to print an array with unicode in it and an object dtype, it currently fails. This happens often for me working with pandas because it defaults to the object dtype for non-numerical arrays. This is because the fallback for the formatting is str. Is there any reason not to use the numpystr function here that can handle unicode?

Reproduce

```python
import numpy as np
a = np.array([u"\xe9"], dtype=object)
print a
```
