Improved handling of zero-width string/unicode dtypes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fixed several interfaces that explicitly disallowed arrays with zero-width
string dtypes (i.e. ``dtype('S0')`` or ``dtype('U0')``, and fixed several

``ndarray.__new__`` to not implicitly convert ``dtype('S0')`` to
``dtype('S1')`` (and likewise for unicode) when creating new arrays.
