Fix #22: Remove numpy dependency on info setup.py commands.

[jason-neal]

This checks what setup command is passed. If it is one of the info commands, (e.g. "egg_info") then numpy is not required and so is not imported for dependency determination . Allows dependency determination without numpy, thus resolving #22, allowing pip to install PyAstronomy and numpy at the same time.

Inspired by the setup.py file for scipy.

I have only tested it locally using a fresh conda enviroment (without numpy installed).

Running pip install -e . fails.

but with this PR pip install -e . numpy --no-cache works.

When this is pushed to pypi this should allow PyAstronomy to be placed alongside numpy in a requirements.txt and be installed on fresh environments.

Hi, Thanks for pointing out and suggesting a fix! Merging the PR in its current form, setup.py stops working for me altogether. Yet, I think the approach is right. I will have a closer look asap. Cheers, Stefan
