Implement the `abs` as defined here:

* https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/functions.html#abs

Update travis cfg to run full test suite + gofmt + lint.

Add NewRootFrame() function for calling into Grumpy manually. Replace all newFrame(nil) with NewRootFrame().

Atomic operations on non-8 byte aligned values results in segfaults on some
32bit architectures. This aligns all 64 atomic operations as well as places
compile time checks to prevent regression.

* added compress, cycle, dropwhile, from_iterable, ifilter, ifilterfalse, and takewhile in itertools
* added itertools tests for cycle, dropwhile, from_iterable, ifilter, ifilterfalse, takewhile

Fix silently dropping assertions at the top level of a block. https://github.com/google/grumpy/issues/18

Mention design parameters upfront

Fix incorrect capitalization of "The"
