This allows you to use:

    cls.def(py::init(&factory_function));

where `factory_function` returns a pointer, holder, or value of the
class type (or a derived type).  Various compile-time checks
(static_asserts) are performed to ensure the function is valid, and
various run-time type checks where necessary.

Some other details of this feature:
- The `py::init` name doesn't conflict with the templated no-argument
  `py::init<...>()`, but keeps the naming consistent: the existing
  templated, no-argument one wraps constructors, the no-template,
  function-argument one wraps factory functions.
- If returning a CppClass (whether by value or pointer) when an CppAlias
  is required (i.e. python-side inheritance and a declared alias), a
  dynamic_cast to the alias is attempted (for the pointer version); if
  it fails, or if returned by value, an Alias(Class &&) constructor
  is invoked.  If this constructor doesn't exist, a runtime error occurs.
- for holder returns when an alias is required, we try a dynamic_cast of
  the wrapped pointer to the alias to see if it is already an alias
  instance; if it isn't, we raise an error.
- `py::init(class_factory, alias_factory)` is also available that takes
  two factories: the first is called when an alias is not needed, the
  second when it is.
- Reimplement factory instance clearing.  The previous implementation
  failed under python-side multiple inheritance: *each* inherited
  type's factory init would clear the instance instead of only setting
  its own type value.  The new implementation here clears just the
  relevant value pointer.
- dealloc is updated to explicitly set the leftover value pointer to
  nullptr and the `holder_constructed` flag to false so that it can be
  used to clear preallocated value without needing to rebuild the
  instance internals data.
- Added various tests to test out new allocation/deallocation code.
- With preallocation now done lazily, init factory holders can
  completely avoid the extra overhead of needing an extra
  allocation/deallocation.
- Updated documentation to make factory constructors the default
  advanced constructor style.
- If an `__init__` is called a second time, we have two choices: we can
  throw away the first instance, replacing it with the second; or we can
  ignore the second call.  The latter is slightly easier, so do that.

This udpates all the remaining tests to the new test suite code and
comment styles started in #898.  For the most part, the test coverage
here is unchanged, with a few minor exceptions as noted below.

- test_constants_and_functions: this adds more overload tests with
  overloads with different number of arguments for more comprehensive
  overload_cast testing.  The test style conversion broke the overload
  tests under MSVC 2015, prompting the additional tests while looking
  for a workaround.

- test_eigen: this dropped the unused functions `get_cm_corners` and
  `get_cm_corners_const`--these same tests were duplicates of the same
  things provided (and used) via ReturnTester methods.

- test_opaque_types: this test had a hidden dependence on ExampleMandA
  which is now fixed by using the global UserType which suffices for the
  relevant test.

- test_methods_and_attributes: this required some additions to UserType
  to make it usable as a replacement for the test's previous SimpleType:
  UserType gained a value mutator, and the `value` property is not
  mutable (it was previously readonly).  Some overload tests were also
  added to better test overload_cast (as described above).

- test_numpy_array: removed the untemplated mutate_data/mutate_data_t:
  the templated versions with an empty parameter pack expand to the same
  thing.

- test_stl: this was already mostly in the new style; this just tweaks
  things a bit, localizing a class, and adding some missing
  `// test_whatever` comments.

- test_virtual_functions: like `test_stl`, this was mostly in the new
  test style already, but needed some `// test_whatever` comments.
  This commit also moves the inherited virtual example code to the end
  of the file, after the main set of tests (since it is less important
  than the other tests, and rather length); it also got renamed to
  `test_inherited_virtuals` (from `test_inheriting_repeat`) because it
  tests both inherited virtual approaches, not just the repeat approach.

* Add `pytest.ini` config file and set default options there instead of
  in `CMakeLists.txt` (command line arguments).

* Change all output capture from `capfd` (filedescriptors) to `capsys`
  (Python's `sys.stdout` and `sys.stderr`). This avoids capturing
  low-level C errors, e.g. from the debug build of Python.

* Set pytest minimum version to 3.0 to make it easier to use new
  features. Removed conditional use of `excinfo.match()`.

* Clean up some leftover function-level `@pytest.requires_numpy`.

This commit includes modifications that are needed to get pybind11 to work with PyPy. The full test suite compiles and runs except for a last few functions that are commented out (due to problems in PyPy that were reported on the PyPy bugtracker).

Two somewhat intrusive changes were needed to make it possible: two new tags ``py::buffer_protocol()`` and ``py::metaclass()`` must now be specified to the ``class_`` constructor if the class uses the buffer protocol and/or requires a metaclass (e.g. for static properties).

Note that this is only for the PyPy version based on Python 2.7 for now. When the PyPy 3.x has caught up in terms of cpyext compliance, a PyPy 3.x patch will follow.

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

With this change both C++ and Python write to sys.stdout which resolves
the capture issues noted in #351. Therefore, the related workarounds are
removed.

Replicates Python API including keyword arguments.

Fixes #357.

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.
