Select low information features #18

Removes two functions: selection.select_high_variance_features and selection.select_percent_null(), and replace them with selection.remove_low_information_features().

The new function removes all features that only contain null values, or that only contain a single value.

The reason to remove these functions is that we are unsure about whether it is generally a good idea to remove these types of features. However, it is almost always a good idea to remove features that provide no information.
