WasabiFan: Updated. I didn't change the `SpeedNativeUnits` name because we didn't come up with anything that was very clear and I figure people won't be using it much anyway.

All our CI builds are failing now, both on this branch and `ev3dev-stretch`. I'm not sure what changed, but it isn't our code.

ddemidov: Looks like this line is the source of the CI troubles:

https://github.com/ev3dev/ev3dev-lang-python/blob/e2dd9a1180eed72e20a22f5f53744b06754b9048/.travis.yml#L9
ddemidov: git blame says the commit that is responsible for that is https://github.com/ev3dev/ev3dev-lang-python/commit/6af0b14145bc5ebc6ec516bc2127efc5ba191971, but the commit was tested succesfully here: https://travis-ci.org/ev3dev/ev3dev-lang-python/builds/404695800?utm_source=github_status&utm_medium=notification
ddemidov: Installing evdev 1.0.0 fixed Travis. (1.1.0 was released [about 4 days ago](https://pypi.org/project/evdev/#history))
ddemidov: https://github.com/gvalkov/python-evdev/issues/98
WasabiFan: Thanks for the investigation @ddemidov; everything looks good for us now, at least we have a workaround.

Should SpeedInteger actually be floating-point?
We have these new `SpeedInteger` classes. But... as it turns out, it might make more sense to have them be `SpeedFloat`s (or, more likely, a better name like `SpeedMeasure` or simply `Speed`). My thinking is: given that we're converting from whatever input units are provided to native units (eventually), we should minimize intermediate truncations to enable the granularity that ticks-per-second provides. This should just be a matter of changing the name, inheritance and documentation mentions.
