lalinference_coherence_test.py -- logsumexp is moved from scipy.misc to scipy.special
Description
lalinference_coherence_test.py
breaks under recent SciPy versions, since after v0.19 the logsumexp function has been moved from scipy.misc to scipy.special.
This MR adds a try-Except check for this which is compatible with both locations of this function.
Note that the current version of LALInference (which is installed as part of the conda packages) is broken since it calls scipy.misc, but the conda SciPy version has the function in scipy.special already.
