Add ability to create array properties in Python

[Michael Reuter]

We want to be able to do things like the following from Python:

pm = PropertyManager()
pm["a"] = (1,2,3)
pm["b"] = [1,2,3]

Refs #9637. Adding logic for array property creation.

Makes everything double vector, but that gets fixed next.

Refs #9637. Expanding array typing logic.

I had to remove the NumPy array stuff as this was giving the unit test fits.

Refs #9637. Adding a unit test. Doesn't work.

This is giving a boost::python::throw_error_already_set when try to run the tuple test. Sigh.

Refs #9637. Working unit test with new function template and macro.

Had to directly point to PySequenceToVector to get things wokring properly.

The branch can be found ​here.

To test: Check that the above examples work and that the unit test runs for PropertyWithValueFactory. NumPy arrays should not work if you want to try that.

Seems to work for me.
