Improvements

1. Layout Change
* Previous versions of the Visual Python made the Jupyter Notebook screen too small, so we merged Menu and Board into one section.
* Switch between menus from the tab bar.

2. Code Generating Buttons & Process Change
* Replaced 'Apply' button with 'Run' button.
* Created 'Add' button to add code to Jupyter Notebook without running.
* When press 'Run' or 'Add', blocks will automatically be added on the board.

3. Apps > Profiling
* The Pandas-Profiling library is now available as an app.
* The Pandas-Profiling is a great tool for quick EDA ! (Visit github.com/pandas-profiling/pandas-profiling for more information)

4. Installation Command Improvement
* Modified 'visualpy' command to allow users with multiple Python versions (2.x & 3.x) to install Visual Python.
* NOTE: Visual Python supports Python version 3.x only.
