Let equal Timestamps not be unequal

Browse Source 
Make the result of Timestamp(x) != Timestamp(x) be False.

In python 2.7 this requires the __ne__ method to be defined [1].
"The truth of x==y does not imply that x!=y is false." The
functools.total_ordering decorator does not autocreate a __ne__
method.

In python 3 the __ne__ method is not required [2]. "By default,
__ne__() delegates to __eq__() and inverts the result".

This patch puts back the __ne__ method removed in [3]. Whilst no tests
fail on master with python2.7, they do on this patch [4] and it seems
dangerous to have this absurd behaviour lurking.
