Removed the points iterator in PersistenceDaigram; replaced it with a __iter__ method. Got rid of some python code in __init__.py, since it was not needed with the above change. Changed the docs to reflect this.

/**
 * Wrapper class
 * 
 * At points we need to wrap primitive data types in classes, so that we can
 * pass them as template arguments to classes that like to inherit from their
 * template arguments--this is done in CohomologyPersistence, for example.
