Title: Ignore astropy/extern directory for testing

`setup.py test --pep8` was including the external code in its report. These external projects are some of the worst PEP8 offenders, so it really skews the results. I tried to use the pep8ignore config option, but I couldn't get it to be picked up. The downside to this approach is that we can't actually put tests in the extern tree in the future if we want to, but I propose we cross that bridge when we get there.
