Run the 2to3 ws_comma fixer on *.py files. Some lines are now too long
and will need to be broken at some point. OTOH, some lines were already
too long and need to be broken at some point. Now seems as good a time
as any to do this with open PRs at a minimum.

The idioms fixer makes the following replacements.

1) int <- bool
2) comparison or identity of types <- isinstance
3) a.sort() <- sorted(a)

There were two problems that needed to be dealt with after the
application of the fixer. First, the replacement of comparison or
identity of types by isinstance was not always correct.  The isinstance
function returns true for subtypes whereas many of the places where the
fixer made a substitution needed to check for exact type equality.
Second, the sorted function was applied to arrays, but because it treats
them as iterators and constructs a sorted list from the result, that is
the wrong thing to do.

Closes #3062.

Python 3 removes the builtin types from the types module. The types
fixer replaces such references with the builtin types where possible
and also takes care of some special cases:

    types.TypeNone           <- type(None)
    types.NotImplementedType <- type(NotImplemented)
    types.EllipsisType       <- type(Ellipsis)

The only two tricky substitutions are

    types.StringType         <- bytes
    types.LongType           <- int

These are fixed up to support both Python 3 and Python 2 code by
importing the long and bytes types from numpy.compat.

Closes #3240.

This replaces python backtics with repr(...). The backtics were mostly
used to generate strings for printing with a string format and it is
tempting to replace `'%s' % repr(x)` with `'%r' % x`. That would work
except where `x` happened to be a tuple or a dictionary but, because it
would be significant work to guarantee that and because there are not
many places where backtics are used, the safe path is to let the repr
replacements stand.

Closes #3083.

Add `print_function` to all `from __future__ import ...` statements
and use the python3 print function syntax everywhere.

Closes #3078.

The new import `absolute_import` is added the `from __future__ import`
statement and The 2to3 `import` fixer is run to make the imports
compatible. There are several things that need to be dealt with to make
this work.

1) Files meant to be run as scripts run in a different environment than
files imported as part of a package, and so changes to those files need
to be skipped. The affected script files are:

    * all setup.py files
    * numpy/core/code_generators/generate_umath.py
    * numpy/core/code_generators/generate_numpy_api.py
    * numpy/core/code_generators/generate_ufunc_api.py

2) Some imported modules are not available as they are created during
the build process and consequently 2to3 is unable to handle them
correctly. Files that import those modules need a bit of extra work.
The affected files are:

    * core/__init__.py,
    * core/numeric.py,
    * core/_internal.py,
    * core/arrayprint.py,
    * core/fromnumeric.py,
    * numpy/__init__.py,
    * lib/npyio.py,
    * lib/function_base.py,
    * fft/fftpack.py,
    * random/__init__.py

Closes #3172

This should be harmless, as we already are division clean. However,
placement of this import takes some care. In the future a script
can be used to append new features without worry, at least until
such time as it exceeds a single line. Having that ability will
make it easier to deal with absolute imports and printing updates.
