Generalized binomial coefficient

[PaulXiCao]

This is a pr wrt to issue #282 . Binomial coefficient is generalized for real/complex arguments using the beta function.

The make.jl documentation script throws tons of errors. Some are regarding the newly implemented function binomial.

Excerpts from the warnings:

$ cd docs && julia make.jl
...

Any idea what I did wrong?

A Todo list (taken from the issue #282)

• [x] implement the function
• [ ] write documentation
  • [x] wikipedia
  • [ ] dlmf
• [x] write tests

I didn't find a good link to dlmf. If anybody finds an appropriate link I can include it. I guess it is not that important?

The Documenter.jl script doesn't pick up the function documentation. I already created a topic at discourse.julialang.org. As there are multiple functions for which the documentations are not picked up I guess it could be handled in a separate issue?
