Change size and shape of self inplace. Array must own its own memory and
not be referenced by other arrays. Returns None.
The reshaped array is a view on the original data, hence it doesn't
own it:
In [15]: a = N.arange(6).reshape(2,3)
In [16]: a.flags
Out[16]:
C_CONTIGUOUS : True
F_CONTIGUOUS : False
OWNDATA : False
WRITEABLE : True
ALIGNED : True
UPDATEIFCOPY : False

It is because `a` is now None.
