allele_frequency_spectrum with a 1-d sample set throws uninformative error

[petrelharp]

@tforest points out that right now,

>>> ts.allele_frequency_spectrum([[0, 1, 2]], mode='branch').shape
(4,)

but

>>> ts.allele_frequency_spectrum([0, 1, 2], mode='branch').shape
Traceback (most recent call last):

The error is happening because we're trying to drop a dimension for having a 1-D sample set (instead of 2-D); as described in the docs, but we can't, because for the AFS there is actually no dimension to drop.

Two options:

1. make ts.allele_frequency_spectrum([0, 1, 2]) the same as ts.allele_frequency_spectrum([[0, 1, 2]]) (i.e., if there's only one sample set, allow it to be passed straight instead of in a 2D array).
2. throw a more informative error.

A possible downside of (1) is that someone might do

ts.allele_frequency_spectrum([0, 1, 2])

when they mean

ts.allele_frequency_spectrum([[0], [1], [2]])`

and then be confused?

However, this seems unlikely - we think that the better option is (1).

(1) seems OK to me
