Add the fact that for pickled files, a file-like object must also support the readline() method. Closes numpy#2807.

numpy.load() says that the
fileparameter must support seek() and read(). However, in the event that pickle.load() is invoked on the file (i.e. via the _cload() function), the file must also support readline(). According to the pickle documentation (and based on my actual experience), the pickle.load() requirements on the file-like object are:The file-like object must have two methods, a read() method
that takes an integer argument, and a readline() method that
requires no arguments.
So, it seems that the numpy.load() docstring should be updated to indicate this somehow.
