* The SVG payload matplotlib backend now works.

* Added RichIPythonWidget, which supports plot payloads.
* Added Qt console demo applicaton.
* Fixed calltips not being resized properly.

 Things to do:
 
 * Finish implementing `raw_input`.
 * Implement `set_parent` logic. Right before doing exec, the Kernel should
   call set_parent on all the PUB objects with the message about to be executed.
 * Implement random port and security key logic.
