[Numpy-discussion] PR to add a function to calculate histogram edges without calculating the histogram

[Kirit Thadaka]

Hi!

I've created a PR to add a function called "histogram_bin_edges" which will
allow a user to calculate the bins used by the histogram for some data
without requiring the entire histogram to be calculated.

https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/10591#issuecomment-371863472

This function allows one set of bins to be computed, and reused across
multiple histograms which gives more easily comparable results than using
separate bins for each histogram.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to improve this PR.

Thanks!
