Series[Period] and Timestamp binop causes segfault

No time to look atm:

In [1]: import pandas as pd

In [2]: pd.Timestamp('2017') + pd.Series([pd.Period('2017', freq='M')])
Fatal Python error: Cannot recover from stack overflow.

The other way hits a maximum recursion error:

In [1]: import pandas as pd

In [2]: pd.Series([pd.Period('2017', freq='M')]) + pd.Timestamp('2017')

RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

[jbrockmendel]

FWIW the segfault appears to be specific to IPython. In the standard interpreter I just get the RecursionError in both py2+py3. Should be an easy patch; should I hold off until after the next release?

[TomAugspurger]

No rush, I don't think this is a major issue. I think we're doing the final release tomorrow or Friday.
