gam.summary() - return String rather than "printing" to standard out

[marknormanread]

Or add another method that returns as String to retain backwards compatibility.

This would enable easier saving of statistics to the file system, which can be more useful if incorporating pyGAM into a pipeline.

Currently I'm having to redirect stdout, which works, but it's a bit inelegant.

Thanks!

@marknormanread thats interesting!

most of the statistics printed by the summary() method are stored in gam.statistics_ although they might require a little post-processing

which statistics are you interested in!
