[SciPy-Dev] Circular statistics revisted

Recently I added a vector strength function to scipy.  I was interested in
also adding some tests of circular statistics, which scipy currently lacks,
and noticed there is already a circmean, circvar, and circstd functions.
Matlab and R both have circular statistics toolboxes.

I don't think this is something that would qualify for an entirely
different namespace, but what about  moving "vector_strength" to
scipy.stats and having a separate section for circular statistics in the
scipy.stats documentation?  Then we might be able to add some more circular
statistics functions there.
