 This ticket creates a file

 {{{
 sage/graphs/isgci.py
 }}}
 That is a '''first implementation''' of an interface between Sage and the
 Graph Classes database ISGCI ![1]. With this interface, the XML content of
 the database can be read using dictionaries and lists (much easier to work
 with), and some operations are implemented like the comparison (relatively
 to inclusion) of graph classes.

 There will be more work needed on this new feature, for instance the
 implementation of an easy way to query the database.

 Along with the patch, two `.sobj` files should be added to the directory
 `$SAGE_ROOT/data/graphs/`. These files are an `.sobj` version of the
 database that I created on my own computer.

 When this patch will be merged into Sage, it is likely that users that do
 not update their version of Sage will progressively then be working with
 an outdated version of the database, as the version will be the one used
 the day they downloaded their copy of Sage. To avoid that, this patch
 implements a function `sage.graphs.isgci.update_db()` that downloads a new
 version of the database from ISGCI's website and updates the current
 `.sobj` files.

 Hence, instead of using my two files attached to this ticket, one can also
 call this method which will create them automatically.

 I tried to make the documentation clear enough about all that is currently
 possible with ISGCI.
