    Update the interface to be more Pythonic · dd19ce84

    This is the biggest change so far. Now, there are two different
    classes of interface. One where you pass ONLY file paths,
    and one where you pass ONLY Python objects.
    
    The file paths are maintained to keep a matching interface with
    the C++ examples of dlib. So shape predicition and object
    detection can be trained using the dlib XML file paths and then
    serialize the detectors to disk.
    
    Shape prediction and object detection can also be trained using
    numpy arrays and in-memory objects. In this case, the predictor
    and detector objects are returned from the training functions.
    To facilitate serializing these objects, they now have a 'save'
    method.
    
    Tetsing follows a similar pattern, in that it can take either XML
    files are or in-memory objects. I also added back the concept of
    upsampling during testing to make amends for removing the
    simple_object_detector_py struct.
