ENH: __array_function__ updates for NumPy 1.17.0

- Always enable __array_function__ overrides.
- Remove special cases for Python 2 compatibility.
- Document these changes in 1.17.0-notes.rst.

It will be good to see ASV numbers to understand the performance implications
of these changes. If need be, we can speed up NumPy functions internally by
using non-dispatched functions (with ``.__wrapped__``).
