Title: File object support for imread and imsave

Made changes to image reading and writing routines to support file objects properly. Actually scipy.misc.imread didn't have to be changed because PIL already supports file objects, but I changed the docstring to say explicitly that it supports them. I made similar changes to scipy.ndimage.misc.imread, though I'm not quite sure why that can't just import from scipy.misc.
