PR #2476: Improved structure of the mobject module

PR #2442: Added media_embed config option to control whether media in Jupyter notebooks is embedded
PR #2504: Added finer control over Scene.wait() being static (i.e., no updaters) or not
- Added keyword argument frozen_frame to Wait and Scene.wait()
- New convenience method: Scene.pause() (alias for Scene.wait(frozen_frame=True))
- Changed default behavior for OpenGL updaters: updater functions are now not called by default when they are added
- Changed default behavior of Scene.should_mobjects_update(): made it respect the set value of Wait.frozen_frame, changed automatic determination of frozen frame state to also consider Scene updaters

PR #2437: Cleaned up simple_functions
- Removed fdiv as in all cases where it was used, it was just doing the same thing as numpy array division.
- Replaced old implementation of the choose function with scipy’s implementation
- Use lru_cache (least recently used cache) for caching the choose function. Since it’s only used for beziers, only 2 choose k and 3 choose k will be used, hence a size of 10 should be enough.
- Removed clip_in_place in favor of np.clip
- Removed one use of clip_in_place that wasn’t actually doing anything
PR #2439: Removed twitter template from scripts
