New abydos support

#70

A lot of fixes, tests, Python 3 only support

• Drop Python 2 support. We follow the official Python release cycle. Now CI runs for Python 3.6+. For 3.4 and 3.5 everything should still work but consider migration, it shouldn't be hard.
• We've migrated tests on pytest+hypothesis. It helped us to find a lot of bugs.
• Some fixes: a bug in Damerau-Levenshtein, normalization in Smith-Waterman, fix support for some unicode chars in Soundex.
• All classes now accept external argument even if they have no known external libs support.
• CI and releases are powered by DepHell
