Changes from 2.0 (nzanepro fork)

- Updated to work with latest Qt.py (1.2.0b2)
- Tested with maya (2018.4), nuke (11.2v4), and PySide2 (5.11.2)
- Install via pip and you will get Qt.py installed as a dependency (see below)
- Now includes MayaQWidgetDockableMixin in maya
- Better Maya menuing via python instead of pymel, pyvfx now has a root menu, and other modules can be added to the menu.

- Example new app via inheritance of Boilerplate (includes extension of MayaQWidgetDockableMixin):

- Complete rewrite of the boilerplate.
- Requires (and bundles) the [`Qt.py`](https://github.com/mottosso/Qt.py)
- Tested with Python 2.7.11 and 3.5.1.
- Uses `PySide.QUiTools` instead of `pysideuic`, which was used in v1.0.
- No longer uses the complex "wrap instance" approach in favor for simpler code. Because of this, UIs are no longer loaded into `self`.
- Maya palette styling in standalone mode.
- Git repo name change: all lowercase.
- Pretty much PEP8 compliant.
- Properly parented window in Maya
- Writing of .pyc (bytecode) files disabled to prevent issues between Python 2 and 3.
- Can be run in multiple ways (see examples).
