* Deprecate the `py::object::str()` member function since `py::str(obj)`
  is now equivalent and preferred

* Make `py::repr()` a free function

* Make sure obj.cast<T>() works as expected when T is a Python type

`obj.cast<T>()` should be the same as `T(obj)`, i.e. it should convert
the given object to a different Python type. However, `obj.cast<T>()`
usually calls `type_caster::load()` which only checks the type without
doing any actual conversion. That causes a very unexpected `cast_error`.
This commit makes it so that `obj.cast<T>()` and `T(obj)` are the same
when T is a Python type.

* Simplify pytypes converting constructor implementation

It's not necessary to maintain a full set of converting constructors
and assignment operators + const& and &&. A single converting const&
constructor will work and there is no impact on binary size. On the
other hand, the conversion functions can be significantly simplified.
