State clearly where the boundaries are btwn photutils and imageutils #10

This is probably most easily places in the README of one or both of the projects, but should be somewhere quite apparent: a statement somewhere of what belongs in photutils vs imageutils. I imagine there is a fair amount of "grey zone", but right now all it says is "Image processing utilities" vs. "image photometry tools".

@eteq I've added a section on "related Astropy packages" to the imageutils docs here. And I've added imageutils as a dependency for photutils and mentioned it in the docs here: https://github.com/astropy/photutils/pull/123

I realise this doesn't fully address your request here to clearly state the boundaries between imageutils and photutils, but if you don't mind, I think it would be best to leave it a bit vague for now and just start to get functionality in place.

Of course we will re-visit the question if things are in the right place and if the scope of the imageutils sub-package is described OK when we propose to include imageutils into the astropy core in a month or two.

OK?

Ok, fair enough. Perhaps also add a link to this in the README, though? I'm thinking more people are likely to see the README at this stage than the docs...

@eteq - I've added extra links to the README to the docs (which I prefer over duplicating text from the docs).
