Fixes #896.

From Python docs: "Once an iterator’s `__next__()` method raises
`StopIteration`, it must continue to do so on subsequent calls.
Implementations that do not obey this property are deemed broken."

Slightly reduces binary size (range for loops over tuple/list benefit
a lot). The iterators are compatible with std algorithms.

The added type aliases are required by `std::iterator_traits`.
Python iterators satisfy the `InputIterator` concept in C++.

Before this, `py::iterator` didn't do any error handling, so code like:
```c++
for (auto item : py::int_(1)) {
    // ...
}
```
would just silently skip the loop. The above now throws `TypeError` as
expected. This is a breaking behavior change, but any code which relied
on the silent skip was probably broken anyway.

Also, errors returned by `PyIter_Next()` are now properly handled.

A flake8 configuration is included in setup.cfg and the checks are
executed automatically on Travis:

* Ensures a consistent PEP8 code style
* Does basic linting to prevent possible bugs

Use simple asserts and pytest's powerful introspection to make testing
simpler. This merges the old .py/.ref file pairs into simple .py files
where the expected values are right next to the code being tested.

This commit does not touch the C++ part of the code and replicates the
Python tests exactly like the old .ref-file-based approach.
