              make bernoulli_polynomial independent of maxima

Comment:

 The attached patch rewrites `bernoulli_polynomial` to avoid Maxima
 completely. This gives roughly a factor of 10 speedup.

 Unfortunately, the originial request doesn't quite make sense --
 `bernoulli_polynomial(x,n)` for `n` a symbolic variable would have to
 return a polynomial of variable degree. As it stands, we don't have any
 sort of "symbolic sum" to use for that kind of thing. I did add the
 formula for the `n`th Bernoulli polynomial to the docstring, though.
