magic_arguments: dedent but otherwise preserve indentation. Previously magic_arguments stripped all whitespace at the beginning of each line, interfering with formatting syntax which relies on indentation to give context (e.g., code blocks). Now the docstring text is passed through dedent to strip the global indentation before being handed off to RawDescriptionHelpFormatter which preserves any remaining indentation. Thanks to @rkern for suggesting the solution approach. Closes gh-1890.

=====================================
Tests in example form - pure python
=====================================
This file contains doctest examples embedded as code blocks, using normal
Python prompts. See the accompanying file for similar examples using IPython
prompts (you can't mix both types within one file). The following will be run
as a test::
>>> 1+1
2
>>> print "hello"
hello
More than one example works::
>>> s="Hello World"
>>> s.upper()
'HELLO WORLD'
but you should note that the *entire* test file is considered to be a single
test. Individual code blocks that fail are printed separately as ``example
failures``, but the whole file is still counted and reported as one test.
