[SciPy-Dev] rv_scatter - companion to rv_histogram

I've just put up a PR, 7257, that proposes to add rv_scatter, a companion
to rv_histogram (6801). It also picks up some aspects of 6466.
It allows one to specify a PDF from x/y scatter data. The PDF is piecewise
linearly interpolated between the supplied data points.
The rationale behind this is to be able to use experimentally determined
data to create a statistical distribution. It can also  be used to
approximate other distributions.
Comments are welcomed.
