[yt-dev] update on yt_astro_analysis

Hi everyone,

A while back, I brought up an ongoing effort to extract most of the yt
analysis_modules into an external package called yt_astro_analysis.  Here
is an update on this.

The yt_astro_analysis repo is at
https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis

The documentation has been updated for all modules and includes a new front
page, installation guide, and API reference.  This is hosted at
http://yt-astro-analysis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Automated testing is now enabled using Travis for most of the
configurations being tested with yt's travis tests.  In the process of
setting this up, I noted that some of the functionality (namely, Rockstar
and running halo finders in parallel) does not work on Python 3.  However,
this appears to be the same situation as with the versions in yt, so this
is not a regression as far as I can tell.

The final things will be:
1. upload to pypi
2. perhaps update the yt install script to optionally install this
3. add deprecation warnings to the original modules in yt
4. announce a release

So, is there anything else that I missed?  Are there addition things that
need to happen before we can begin the final things?  I would also like to
invite anyone interested in this to take a look at the repo, the docs,
testing, etc and offer any comments or suggestions.  What does everyone
think?

Thanks,
Britton
