BUG: ValueError when doing HDFStore.Select of contiguous mixed-data table ft. VLArray
#### Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible


    import pandas as pd
    myDf = pd.DataFrame({'a' : pd.Series([1443525810,1443540836,1443609470]),
                         'b' : pd.Series(['ab','cd','ab'])})
    myDf.to_hdf('test.h5', 'test')

    with pd.HDFStore('test.h5') as myFile:
        df = myFile.select('/test', start=0, stop=2) # omit "start=0, stop=2" to prevent error
        display (df)


#### Problem description

ValueError: Shape of passed values is (2, 3), indices imply (2, 2)

#### Expected Output

                 a   b
    0   1443525810  ab
    1   1443540836  cd

#### Other remarks:
- please be gentle, this is my first Github interaction :)
- notebook attached that contains problem and solution output
- My guess is that pytables.py's read_array takes the one-dimensional behavior of VLArray into account too late; after slicing "data = node[start:stop]", resulting in the slice returning the whole column, my following implementation of the method seems to fix it.

        def read_array(self, key, start=None, stop=None):
        """ read an array for the specified node (off of group """
        import tables
        node = getattr(self.group, key)
        attrs = node._v_attrs

        transposed = getattr(attrs, 'transposed', False)

        if isinstance(node, tables.VLArray):
            ret = node[0][start:stop]
        else:
            dtype = getattr(attrs, 'value_type', None)
            shape = getattr(attrs, 'shape', None)

            if shape is not None:
                # length 0 axis
                ret = np.empty(shape, dtype=dtype)
            else:
                ret = node[start:stop]

            if dtype == u('datetime64'):

                # reconstruct a timezone if indicated
                ret = _set_tz(ret, getattr(attrs, 'tz', None), coerce=True)

            elif dtype == u('timedelta64'):
                ret = np.asarray(ret, dtype='m8[ns]')

        if transposed:
            return ret.T
        else:
            return ret
