Title: Qubism - self-similar visualization of many-body wavefunctions 

I am working on visualization schemes for quantum states.
Now it may be not yet merge-ready (I am still working on it), but works.

I was thinking about writing a separate library, but decided it would be better to have in in QuTiP. :)

1. What do you think about it?
2. Should it be in `visualization.py` or in a separate file `qubism.py`?
