* Add flag for installation of headers under python include directory

* Allow the disabling of distutils install_headers

* Avoid C-style const casts

Replace C-style casts that discard `const` with `const_cast` (and, where
necessary, `reinterpret_cast` as well).

* Warn about C-style const-discarding casts

Change pybind11_enable_warnings to also enable `-Wcast-qual` (warn if a
C-style cast discards `const`) by default. The previous commit should
have gotten rid of all of these (at least, all the ones that tripped in
my build, which included the tests), and this should discourage more
from newly appearing.

Fixes #567.

If pybind's CMakeLists gets loaded via an include_directory from another
CMakeLists with a higher minimum version (e.g. 3.0), the project()
command without a version produces a CMP0048 warning.

This commit explicitly requests the new behaviour if the policy exists,
as it won't cause problems (we set VERSION later).

Makes room for an eventual pybind11::embedded target.

Add a BUILD_INTERFACE and a pybind11::pybind11 alias for the interface
library to match the installed target.

Add new cmake tests for add_subdirectory and consolidates the
.cpp and .py files needed for the cmake build tests:

Before:
tests
|-- test_installed_module
|   |-- CMakeLists.txt
|   |-- main.cpp
|   \-- test.py
\-- test_installed_target
    |-- CMakeLists.txt
    |-- main.cpp
    \-- test.py

After:
tests
\-- test_cmake_build
    |-- installed_module/CMakeLists.txt
    |-- installed_target/CMakeLists.txt
    |-- subdirectory_module/CMakeLists.txt
    |-- subdirectory_target/CMakeLists.txt
    |-- main.cpp
    \-- test.py

Added the docstring_options class, which gives global control over the generation of docstrings and function signatures.

Add unit tests and documentation for the chrono cast.

This build makes sure everything still works without optional
dependencies (numpy/scipy/eigen) and also tests the automatic
discovery functions in CMake (Python version, C++ standard).

[skip appveyor]

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.

Mark the pybind11 headers as private to the target.

Fixes #305

The function creates a pybind11 module using the specified source files.

This is needed in case an older pybind11 version was installed with pip
