PyPy support

See original GitHub issue

It would be nice to enable pypy tests on travis, mention pypy support in the docs and benchmark a couple of spiders.

What is currently broken in tests:

#2030 - there are failing signals tests under PyPy (old signals also didn’t work under PyPy) - probably it’s better to fix them after the merge, since the PR is already big.
There are some failures with encoding (different number of <?> inserted), filed https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2389/different-behavior-of-bytesdecode-utf8
Failure in ImagesPipelineTestCase.test_convert_image looks like a Pillow bug under PyPy?
There are some failures in tests that rely on implementations differences or bugs that are absent on PyPy - here just the tests must be updated.

Other tasks:

Test and document installation under PyPy (there can be more issues than for CPython due to missing or outdated binary wheels, e.g. https://github.com/pyca/cryptography/issues/2138)

Status: 1 failure in https://github.com/rootAvish/scrapy/compare/signal-rewrite...lopuhin:pypy?expand=1

It looks like this is ready to be closed - any more pull requests @lopuhin? 😃

@kmike the failure is already resolved (probably by Pillow), but docs are worth updating, that’s a good catch! I can work on it before next Monday.
