Merge branch 'numpy-swig' into gh-3451

* numpy-swig:
  Added more mentions of the SuperTensor tests and corrected the number of typemaps and tests (currently 1427 unit tests passed with 'make test': 372+324+324+324+40+19+24)
  Added mention of the SuperTensor tests in the README file
  Removed 'static' keyword from pyfragments.swg altoghether. I've had the following errors In function ‘SWIG_AsVal_long’: error: initialiser element is not constant In function ‘SWIG_AsVal_unsigned_SS_long’: error: initialiser element is not constant, BOTH in Windows/MinGW and Linux when compiling with gcc
  Added tests for 4D tensors. Now using a consistant cubes,slices,rows,columns index order everywhere.
  cleaned-up loop indexes in Tensor.cxx
  cosmetic changes to numpy.i
  Fixed the capsule / cobject memory destructor. Added types to deal with lists of arrays and lists of tensors as input and inplace types.
  removed the note about testResize1 failing in testArray.py
  fixed the testResize1 test in testArray.py -- Changed order of the resize arguments in Array2.h and replaced len(XXXnumpyarray) with XXXnumpyarray.size
  Minor adjustments to numpy.i
  Updated numpy.i testing documentation
  Updated the numpy.i documentation
  Initialize all DATA_TYPE* data_temp variables to NULL
  Added Egor's ARGOUTVIEWM_ARRAY3 typemaps
  Re-instated a Python 3 fix
  Removed doc from list of sub-directories
  Upgrade numpy.i
  Got rid of a unit test
