MMIO enhancements to support read and write using different datatype

[mariodruiz]

Support different datatypes for MMIO read and write.

• Merge write functionality in a single method
• MMIO.read arguments word_order and length are deprecated
• MMIO.write detects datatype automatically
• MMIO.read returns the datatype based on the dtype keyword (**kwargs). Eg. mmio.read(offset,dtype=np.float), default is int

Fix #634
