  1. Added __delitem__ to Account, so you can do del account[db_name]
  2. Changed save_docs to bulk_docs to reflect API.

This branch was named to address https://github.com/cloudant-labs/cloudant-python/issues/16 but the cloudant-python API is mutually exclusive with the couchdb-python / couchdbkit APIs to such a degree that it strikes me as counterproductive to imply code written for one will port painlessly to using another.

For example, couchdb-python and cloudant-python Database objects have a delete method, but they function completely differently. I'd like to keep the API clean and minimal, reflecting only the Cloudant API itself, rather than the design choices of prior artists merely because they're prior artists.

Ex: save_docs as couchdbkit does, to bulk_docs as the Cloudant API does.
