All join count methods should warn/fail for asymmetric weights #198

Description

@ljwolf

Over in the geographic data science book, we just realized that join counts/local join count statistics are not well-defined in the case of asymmetric weights matrices (like k-nearest neighbors).

Thus, we need to warn/error out if w.asymmetries is not an empty list. I'm not sure how the statistics are defined in the directed case, and (regardless) we'd need to enhance their existing estimators for this case.

I think it's appropriate to raise a NotImplementedError immediately if the weights are asymmetric.
