This PR completely rewrites the Jupyterlab and Phosphor API for Perspective.

Using the new python API, perspective-jupyterlab now uses Table and PerspectiveManager to handle data loads, view creation, etc. The viewer in the widget has access to a proxy table, and all operations in the viewer are proxied to the underlying Table instance in the kernel. Thus, the new widget is bound to the semantics of Table, and accepts any of the data formats accepted by perspective.Table.

As part of this PR, the jupyterlab and phosphor widgets have been rewritten. Specifically, the Phosphor widget is made inert, i.e. load must be called on the widget in order to provide the viewer with data. The Jupyterlab widget extends the phosphor widget and implements a client that interacts with PerspectiveManager in the kernel.

Example notebooks have been added to illustrate semantics and usage of the new widgets in JupyterLab.
