add statement re ending python 2.7 support on June 1 2019

[wholmgren]

• Closes Plan for dropping Python 2.7 #501
• I am familiar with the contributing guidelines.
• Fully tested. Added and/or modified tests to ensure correct behavior for all reasonable inputs. Tests (usually) must pass on the TravisCI and Appveyor testing services.
• Updates entries to docs/sphinx/source/api.rst for API changes.
• Adds description and name entries in the appropriate docs/sphinx/source/whatsnew file for all changes.
• Code quality and style is sufficient. Passes git diff upstream/master -u -- "*.py" | flake8 --diff
• New code is fully documented. Includes sphinx/numpydoc compliant docstrings and comments in the code where necessary.
• Pull request is nearly complete and ready for detailed review.
