None of the three currently recommended approaches works on PyPy, due to
it not garbage collecting things when you want it to. Added a note with
example showing how to get interpreter shutdown callbacks using the Python
atexit module.

py::class_<T>'s `def_property` and `def_property_static` can now take a
`nullptr` as the getter to allow a write-only property to be established
(mirroring Python's `property()` built-in when `None` is given for the
getter).

This also updates properties to use the new nullptr constructor internally.

Non-user facing. 
Found using `codespell -q 3`

This also matches the Eigen example for the row-major case.

This also enhances one of the tests to trigger a failure (and fixes it in the PR).  (This isn't really a flaw in pybind itself, but rather fixes wrong code in the test code and docs).

MSCV does not allow `&typeid(T)` in constexpr contexts, but the string
part of the type signature can still be constexpr. In order to avoid
`typeid` as long as possible, `descr` is modified to collect type
information as template parameters instead of constexpr `typeid`.
The actual `std::type_info` pointers are only collected in the end,
as a `constexpr` (gcc/clang) or regular (MSVC) function call.

Not only does it significantly reduce binary size on MSVC, gcc/clang
benefit a little bit as well, since they can skip some intermediate
`std::type_info*` arrays.

* Expand documentation to include explicit example of py::module::import 
  where one would expect it.

* Describe how to use unbound and bound methods to class Python classes.

E.g. trying to convert a `list` to a `std::vector<int>` without
including <pybind11/stl.h> will now raise an error with a note that
suggests checking the headers.

The note is only appended if `std::` is found in the function
signature. This should only be the case when a header is missing.
E.g. when stl.h is included, the signature would contain `List[int]`
instead of `std::vector<int>` while using stl_bind.h would produce
something like `MyVector`. Similarly for `std::map`/`Dict`, `complex`,
`std::function`/`Callable`, etc.

There's a possibility for false positives, but it's pretty low.

Fixes #1075.

`PyNumber_Float()` and `PyNumber_Long()` return new references.

To avoid an ODR violation in the test suite while testing
both `stl.h` and `std_bind.h` with `std::vector<bool>`,
the `py::bind_vector<std::vector<bool>>` test is moved to
the secondary module (which does not include `stl.h`).

Fixes #1061.

`T` and `const T &` are compatible types.

Closes #1048, closes #1052.

PR #880 changed the implementation of keep_alive to avoid weak
references when the nurse is pybind11-registered, but the documentation
didn't get updated to match.

There are two separate additions:

1. `py::hash(obj)` is equivalent to the Python `hash(obj)`.
2. `.def(hash(py::self))` registers the hash function defined by
   `std::hash<T>` as the Python hash function.

The warning is shown at module initialization time (on import, not
when the functions are called). It's only visible when compiled in
debug mode.

This is analogous to `py::init()` vs `__init__` + placement-new.
`py::pickle()` reuses most of the implementation details of `py::init()`.
