Deprecate jackknife in favour of astropy's?

See original GitHub issue

This needs some investigation and also benchmarking whether it makes sense to deprecate astroML.resample.jackknife in favour of astropy.stats.jackknife_resampling and astropy.stats.jackknife_stats or there is an argument to keep it at both places.

@bsipocz We adopted a general principle in such cases that we should switch to astropy implementation, unless it is technically inferior (functionality, speed, memory usage, in this priority order) to astroML implementation. Given the analysis above kindly provided by @mirca it seems that we should adopt astropy implementation here.

Ohh, and the option of returning the raw distribution. We use it in one figure, I’ll look around on github whether anyone else uses it for anything.
