* Fix warnings when compiled with -pedantic

* add -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB for windows build

* fix some more MSVC warnings

* Break OpenCL string literal to smaller pieces to avoid error C2026 of MSVC

The string was longer than the limit of 16380 single-byte characters.

This affects Visual Studio 2005 - 2015. Untested on VS 2017.

* For a better jump link (#355)

* Update Python-API.md

* for a better jump in page

A space is needed between `#` and the headers content according to Github's markdown format [guideline](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/)

After adding the spaces, we can jump to the exact position in page by click the link.
