numpy 1.7.1 test failures with physicalField.py

[wd15]

Raymond Smith (see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.fipy/3024) noticed some failures with numpy 1.7.1. There is still the error associated with issue #375 and now this new issue.

======================================================================
FAIL: itemset (fipy.tools.dimensions.physicalField.PhysicalField)
Doctest: fipy.tools.dimensions.physicalField.PhysicalField.itemset
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):

self.value.itemset(value)
IndexError: index 3746994889972252674 is out of bounds for axis 0 with size 2

May just need to relax the failure requirement.

Hack a fix for two possible different exceptions

Effectively convert the `IndexError` to a `ValueError`.

Is there a better way to catch different exceptions with doctest?

Addresses issue #381
