Title: Boxplot median and confidence intervals computed with user-spec'd function

See:
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/1199
and
https://gist.github.com/3747864

This PR contains modifications to the `boxplot` method in axes.py that allows the user to pass in a function that computes the medians and its confidence intervals.

I've rebased this branch on the current master -- I hope that ok. It went pretty smoothly so I'll be happy to base off of 1.2.x if needed.

Just ran all the tests and things ok.

I'm curious as to how we should proceed with all of the other features out lined in the links above. I'm thinking we should keep them separate? But I'll defer to the core team on that.

Thanks for looking at this.
