Disable array iteration #42

Fixes #41.

I do wonder if this isn't too strict. Python itself implements __iter__ using __getitem__, so technically __iter__ should work in the base array API for 1-D arrays.

OTOH, there were explicit discussions about array iteration being ambiguous, especially for higher dimensional arrays, so disallowing it is at least within the spirit of the array API.
