[Bf-python] Getting armature hierarchy

[Gilbert, Joseph T.]

Lots o ways to do this.
I think that splitting these into 2 might make more sense as the user
will probably want one or the other but not both.
You can pull children like:
Bone.children[0].children for more control over hierarchy

Just of the top of my head, I wonder if maybe the right way to do this
is to return a list of lists.  The first list would be the immediate
children.  The rest of the list(s) would be the remainder of the family
tree.
