Move MDAnalysis to GitHub due to Google Code closure

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Google announced that they will shutdown Googlecode (as also reported on Ars Technica). The service including all code will be gone by 2016:

• August 24, 2015 - The site goes read-only. You can still checkout/view project source, issues, and wikis.
• January 25, 2016 - The project hosting service is closed. You will be able to download a tarball of project source, issues, and wikis. These tarballs will be available throughout the rest of 2016.

Today, "Export to GitHub" buttons appeared on Google Code. I suggest, we make the 0.9.0 release from Google Code and then migrate to GitHub. GitHub is a nicer platform for collaborative coding but it's hugely annoying that the Issue tracker will be lost and we have to think about what to do about that.

In principle the move from Google Code to GitHub is complete. There are lots of things to iron out (such as wiki, docs and homepage and how to do attachments with the issue tracker, uploading old downloads to pypi, splitting of tools ("applications") into own repos, ...) but the code is up and all the infrastructure is in place.

@MDAnalysis/coredevs : please start using https://github.com/MDAnalysis/mdanalysis and provide feedback if anything is not working properly.

New clones:

git clone git@github.com:MDAnalysis/mdanalysis.git

Changing existing repositories (assuming that the google code repo was named "origin"):

git remote rename origin googlecode
git remote add origin git@github.com:MDAnalysis/mdanalysis.git

This should be sufficient to use the new repository, for instance, update your develop branch:

git pull origin develop

Thanks to everyone for their patience and support!
