Summary: East Asian Width support for Unicode

Initial Comment:
As David Goodger's inspiration, I thought that it would
be great if we have some unicode methods that
manipulates East Asian Width
(http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11/tr11-13.html#UCD).

The attached patch implements rough first-time idea.

>>> u'1'.iswide()
False
>>> u'\uac00'.iswide()
True
>>> u'\ud55c\uae00'.iswide()
True
>>> u'\ud55c\uae00'.width()
4
>>> u'ab\ud55c\uae00'.width()
6
>>> u'ab\ud55c\uae00'.iswide()
False
