Title: renaming shape parameters for several distributions

Make the naming of shape parameters of some distributions consistent with numpy.

Before 0.13 the names did not matter since distributions did not allow keyword arguments. Now they do, so that the names are a part of a 'public API', -ish. Before 0.13 is officially out, it's still easy to rename them. It sounds reasonable to have some consistency with `numpy.random`, where reasonable.

This PR changes the names for `randint` and `vonmises`, more can be added while real difficulties hold back the proper release of 0.13.
