This is something the format supports, but none of the builders
were doing. Can save 10-20% on FlatBuffer binary size!
Also fixed the Go tests.
Change-Id: I616c56ce9bbcfcaee23aa24f0532fcb60b6a8c75
Tested: on Linux.
* Add numpy accessor to python flatbuffers scalar vectors
* Update python tests to test numpy vector accessor
* Update appveyor CI to run Python tests, save generated code as artifact
* Update example generated python code
* Add numpy info to python usage docs
* Update test schema and python tests w/ multi-byte vector
* did not mean to push profiling code
* adding float64 numpy tests
A previous commit that added "f" for C++/Java/C# would break
on gcc of constants like 3f, which are now output as 3.0f

Implement code generation and self-contained runtime library for Python.
The test suite verifies:
- Correctness of generated Python code by comparing output to that of
the other language ports.
- The exact bytes in the Builder buffer during many scenarios.
- Vtable deduplication correctness.
- Edge cases for table construction, via a fuzzer derived from the Go
implementation.
- All code is simultaneously valid in Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.4.
The test suite includes benchmarks for:
- Building 'gold' data.
- Parsing 'gold' data.
- Deduplicating vtables.
All tests pass on this author's system for the following Python
implementations:
- CPython 2.6.7
- CPython 2.7.8
- CPython 3.4.2
- PyPy 2.5.0 (CPython 2.7.8 compatible)
