#943: Add "blkdiag" command from MATLAB

--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 A command similar to MATLAB's "blkdiag" would be handy in Numpy.  I'm not
 sure what the correct component is for this - I can imagine it going in
 the normal namespace like 'diag', but tagged the numpy.linalg component in
 case it's deemed unworthy of the normal namespace.

 I've attached an example implementation, which almost certainly breaks
 every Numpy coding convention (but is functional).  If there's interest
 but the code quality is not acceptable, I'm happy to clean it up for
 inclusion.
