#275 Upload wheels to pypi

[Aragilar]

Currently docutils does not publish any wheels on pypi. Wheels make docutils faster to install (no need to run setup.py, which for a large number of packages can take some time), and is no more difficult than uploading an sdist (see https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/distributing.html#wheels for instructions).

[Tony Narlock]

How much of a speed increase / benefit does wheel pose to give docutils? To
my understanding the major benefit from wheels is for packages that use C
speedups (such as lxml) that would have lengthy install times due to
compilation.

I've found that wheels provide the most benefit when the setup.py is
more complex, so stuff like C extensions, running 2to3 or generating
docs is where having a wheel speeds up installation. I've timed
installing on my laptop from sdist and from wheel using the latest
python 2.7 (py2) and python 3.4 (py3) in Debian unstable. There should
be no issues with different download times, as both the sdist and the
wheels came from a devpi instance running on my laptop.

No wheel & py3:
real 0m50.128s
user 0m49.812s
sys 0m0.224s

No wheel & py2:
real 0m1.877s
user 0m1.548s
sys 0m0.248s

Wheel & py3
real 0m0.867s
user 0m0.708s
sys 0m0.108s

Wheel & py2
real 0m1.058s
user 0m0.916s
sys 0m0.100s
