2b11b9be20 Automatically read and write bytecode
Importing or executing a Hy file now loads the byte-compiled version if it exists and is up to date, and if not, the source is byte-compiled after it's parsed.

This change can speed up Hy a lot. Here are some examples comparing run times of the current master (491b474e) to this commit, on my laptop with Python 3.6:

- `nosetests --exclude='test_bin'` goes from 3.8 s to 0.7 s (a 5-fold speedup)
- `hy -c '(print "hello world")` goes from 0.47 s to 0.20 s (a 2-fold speedup)
- Rogue TV's startup goes from 3.6 s to 0.4 s (a 9-fold speedup)

Accompanying changes include:

- `setup.py` now creates and installs bytecode for `hy.core`, `hy.contrib`, and `hy.extra`.
- The `hyc` command under Python 3 now creates bytecode in `__pycache__`, as usual for Python 3, instead of putting the `.pyc` right next to the source file like Python 2 does.

I've removed a test of `hy.extra.anaphoric.a-if` that triggers #1268 when the test file is byte-compiled and then hits some weird `macroexpand` bug or something when I try to work around that—Nose crashes when trying to produce an error message, and I can't seem to replicate the bug without Nose.

ffd85bcc3e Fixes a long-standing bug in import under Python 3.3 and later.
Our MetaImporter was being inserted at the end of sys.meta_path.
For Python prior to 3.3, this was fine since sys.meta_path
was empty by default. As of the completion of PEP 302 in Py3.3 and
later, there are several importers registered by default. One of
these was trying (and failing) to import simple Hy modules,
resulting in a failure to import anything inside __init__.hy.

This change simply inserts the Hy-specific importer at the front
of the list.

This was noted in issue #620 (great catch @algernon)

774aad2ca8 defmain macro; handles the whole if __name__ == __main__ / main function dance
Example:

  (defmain [&rest args]
    (print "now we're having a fun time!")
    (print args))

Which outputs:

  $ hy test.hy
  now we're having a fun time!
  (['test.hy'],)

Includes documentation and tests.
