Title: Allow RAET to be PIP installable. Fixes #15

Created a new module which holds the package metadata, `__version__`, `__author__`, `__license__`. Additionally added `__version_info__` which allows math based version comparison.
This metadata is still available in `raet.__init__` because we import it there, but more importantly, we can now load this metadata in the setup script without having to load the raet module(`raet.__init__`, which in turn loads all it's
modules which in turn load the dependencies). This way, we allow pip to install the required dependencies before actually needing then.
