Moved gnuradio-core/src/utils/ plotting scripts into gr-utils, with some rework.

The gr_plot_data.py class installs into the gnuradio namespace as 
gnuradio.plot_data, and the remainder of the scripts install into 
$prefix/bin.

-* gr_plot_*.py:
-These are a collection of Python scripts to enable viewing and analysis of files produced by GNU Radio flow graphs. Most of them work off complex data produced by digital waveforms.
-
-
-** gr_plot_float.py:
-Takes a GNU Radio floating point binary file and displays the samples versus time. You can set the block size to specify how many points to read in at a time and the start position in the file.
-
-By default, the system assumes a sample rate of 1, so in time, each sample is plotted versus the sample number. To set a true time axis, set the sample rate (-R or --sample-rate) to the sample rate used when capturing the samples.
-
-
-
-** gr_plot_iq.py:
-Takes a GNU Radio complex binary file and displays the I&Q data versus time. You can set the block size to specify how many points to read in at a time and the start position in the file.
-
-By default, the system assumes a sample rate of 1, so in time, each sample is plotted versus the sample number. To set a true time axis, set the sample rate (-R or --sample-rate) to the sample rate used when capturing the samples.
-
-
-
-** gr_plot_const.py:
-Takes a GNU Radio complex binary file and displays the I&Q data versus time and the constellation plot (I vs. Q). You can set the block size to specify how many points to read in at a time and the start position in the file.
-
-By default, the system assumes a sample rate of 1, so in time, each sample is plotted versus the sample number. To set a true time axis, set the sample rate (-R or --sample-rate) to the sample rate used when capturing the samples.
-
-
-
-** gr_plot_fft_c.py:
-Takes a GNU Radio complex binary file and displays the I&Q data versus time as well as the frequency domain (FFT) plot. The y-axis values are plotted assuming volts as the amplitude of the I&Q streams and converted into dBm in the frequency domain (the 1/N power adjustment out of the FFT is performed internally).
-
-The script plots a certain block of data at a time, specified on the command line as -B or --block. This value defaults to 1000. The start position in the file can be set by specifying -s or --start and defaults to 0 (the start of the file).

-By default, the system assumes a sample rate of 1, so in time, each sample is plotted versus the sample number. To set a true time and frequency axis, set the sample rate (-R or --sample-rate) to the sample rate used when capturing the samples.

The script plots a certain block of data at a time, specified on the command line as -B or --block. This value defaults to 1000. The start position in the file can be set by specifying -s or --start and defaults to 0 (the start of the file). By default, the system assumes a sample rate of 1, so in time, each sample is plotted versus the sample number. To set a true time and frequency axis, set the sample rate (-R or --sample-rate) to the sample rate used when capturing the samples."
