nbodykit Slicing mesh objects.

It turns out for inspection of data we would like to be able to slice a mesh object. There are two levels of slicing that we may support:

Slicing the painted field. (Expensive)
CatalogMesh, paint a sliced catalog. (Cheap)

Isn't 2. already supported?

What's the use case for slicing the painted field? Slicing a CatalogMesh (at least locally) is now fully supported by #393, where slicing returns a new CatalogMesh object.

Sometimes we want to look at a slice of the mesh? I guess it is really just for visualization and can be added as a feature in 'preview'. Let's close this and make a new issue about preview.

We don't have any 2D mesh support -- but for lensing we will probably need.
