Add utility to extract the release version from a package version string #204

The main use case of this utility being to be used in a conf.py file to set the version and release variables. so that the version that shows up in the HTML title isn't the expanded/ugly one we get when a build is made some time after an actual release.

>>> get_release_version("0.13.0a19.post4+g0695e214")
"0.13.0a19"

@jbednar if this is fine for you I would cute a nbsite dev release and use this utility for building colorcet's docs (and then the other sites).
