Description
following #682
Provide faculties for automatic readout correction. Probably depends a bit on #712
A simple correction scheme where for each Experiment you measure your ansatz in a specified basis and the identity in the same basis. Use the second measurement to re-normalize the first.

Research direction
Start by reading issues #682 and #712, then locate the Experiment and operator-estimation entry points in pyquil. Trace how an ansatz is measured in a specified basis and how the identity could be measured in that same basis. Done means an Experiment can perform the paired measurements and use the identity result to re-normalize the ansatz result.
