Sage 4.0.1 Release Tour

Sage 4.0.1 was released on FIXME. For the official, comprehensive release note, please refer to FIXME. A nicely formatted version of this release tour can be found at FIXME. The following points are some of the foci of this release:

Algebra

Factoring rational functions (Soroosh Yazdani) -- New method factor() in the class FractionFieldElement of sage/rings/fraction_field_element.pyx to return the factorization of self over the base ring. Here's an example for working with this new method:
```
sage: K.<x> = QQ["x"]
sage: f = (x^3 + x) / (x-3)
sage: f.factor()
(x - 3)^-1 * x * (x^2 + 1)
```

Faster basis_matrix() for ambient modules (John Cremona) -- The speed-up can be up to 376x faster than previously. The following timing statistics were obtained using the machine sage.math:

# BEFORE

sage: K = FreeModule(ZZ, 2000)
sage: %time I = K.basis_matrix()
CPU times: user 292.74 s, sys: 20.11 s, total: 312.85 s
Wall time: 312.90 s


# AFTER

sage: K = FreeModule(ZZ, 2000)
sage: %time I = K.basis_matrix()
CPU times: user 0.41 s, sys: 0.43 s, total: 0.84 s
Wall time: 0.83 s
