[scikit-learn] pipeline diagram

[Reshama Shaikh]

Hi Joel,
I am working on the PR to add the diagram visualization to the
documentation [a].
I had added both text and diagram output to all the examples, because I did
not realize you could click on the diagram sections to get more
information.  It wasn't until my recent discussion with Thomas where he
pointed it out; it wasn't intuitive to me.  It would be good to either:
a)  add a note somewhere indicating "click on the text in the pipeline
visualization to see more details, such as parameter settings"
b)  add a GIF of it to the documentation
c)  if when the user puts their cursor over the diagram at all, show
something like "Click an estimator type to see its parameters"

I added this PR to the agenda for the next scikit-learn meeting.
