* Black no longer ignores pyi files

For single-file extensions, a convenient pattern offered by cython
is to place the source files directly in the python source tree
(`foo/__init__.py`, `foo/ext.pyx`), deriving the package names from
their filesystem location.  Adapt this pattern for pybind11, using an
`intree_extensions` helper, which should be thought of as the moral
equivalent to `cythonize`.

Differences with cythonize: I chose not to include globbing support
(`intree_extensions(glob.glob("**/*.cpp"))` seems sufficient), nor to
provide extension-customization kwargs (directly setting the attributes
on the resulting Pybind11Extension objects seems sufficient).

We could choose to have `intree_extension` (singular instead) and make
users write `[*map(intree_extension, glob.glob("**/*.cpp"))]`; no strong
opinion here.

* docs: update build description slightly

* docs: missing ticks

* docs: mention PYTHONPATH in installing.rst

When pybind11 is included as a submodule, the user needs to update their
Python module search path.  Otherwise, the first c++ compilation command
in docs/basics.rst will fail.

* docs: add a note about compiling the example

This note shows how to modify the compilation command for the example
when the pybind11 source has been included as a Git submodule.

* docs: add a note about compiling the example

Added an internal link to the docs

* docs: updated a note about compiling the example

Also updated the command substitution syntax for consistency

This variable is a CMake community standard to set the C++
standard of a build. Document it in favor of the previous variable,
which stays as a legacy flag for existing projects.

https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.17/variable/CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD.html

* Added note regarding make install

pybind11 headers passed via the `pybind11_add_module` CMake
function can now be included as `SYSTEM` includes (`-isystem`).

This allows to set stricter (or experimental) warnings in
calling projects that might throw otherwise in headers
a user of pybind11 can not influence.

* Doxygen needs `RECURSIVE = YES` in order to parse the `detail` subdir.

* The `-W` warnings-as-errors option for sphinx doesn't work with the
  makefile build. Switched to calling sphinx directly.

* Fix "citation [cppimport] is not referenced" warning.

This updates the compilation to always apply hidden visibility to
resolve the issues with default visibility causing problems under debug
compilations.  Moreover using the cmake property makes it easier for a
caller to override if absolutely needed for some reason.

For `pybind11_add_module` we use cmake to set the property; for the
targets, we append to compilation option to non-MSVC compilers.

[skip ci]

Under MSVC we were ignoring PYBIND11_CPP_STANDARD and simply not
passing any standard (which makes MSVC default to its C++14 mode).

MSVC 2015u3 added the `/std:c++14` and `/std:c++latest` flags; the
latter, under MSVC 2017, enables some C++17 features (such as
`std::optional` and `std::variant`), so it is something we need to
start supporting under MSVC.

This makes the PYBIND11_CPP_STANDARD cmake variable work under MSVC,
defaulting it to /std:c++14 (matching the default -std=c++14 for
non-MSVC).

It also adds a new appveyor test running under MSVC 2017 with
/std:c++latest, which runs (and passes) the
`std::optional`/`std::variant` tests.

Also updated the documentation to clarify the c++ flags and add show
MSVC flag examples.

Makes room for an eventual pybind11::embedded target.

See the documentation for a description of the options.
