Rename examples files, as per #288

This renames example files from `exampleN` to `example-description`.

Specifically, the following renaming is applied:

example1 -> example-methods-and-attributes
example2 -> example-python-types
example3 -> example-operator-overloading
example4 -> example-constants-and-functions
example5 -> example-callbacks (*)
example6 -> example-sequence-and-iterators
example7 -> example-buffers
example8 -> example-custom-ref-counting
example9 -> example-modules
example10 -> example-numpy-vectorize
example11 -> example-arg-keywords-and-defaults
example12 -> example-virtual-functions
example13 -> example-keep-alive
example14 -> example-opaque-types
example15 -> example-pickling
example16 -> example-inheritance
example17 -> example-stl-binders
example18 -> example-eval
example19 -> example-custom-exceptions

* the inheritance parts of example5 are moved into example-inheritance
(previously example16), and the remainder is left as example-callbacks.

This commit also renames the internal variables ("Example1",
"Example2", "Example4", etc.) into non-numeric names ("ExampleMandA",
"ExamplePythonTypes", "ExampleWithEnum", etc.) to correspond to the
file renaming.

The order of tests is preserved, but this can easily be changed if
there is some more natural ordering by updating the list in
examples/CMakeLists.txt.

Fix #283: don't print first arg of constructor

This changes the exception error message of a bad-arguments error to
suppress the constructor argument when the failure is a constructor.

This changes both the "Invoked with: " output to omit the object
instances, and rewrites the constructor signature to make it look
like a constructor (changing the first argument to the object name, and
removing the ' -> NoneType' return type.

Add missing scipy run-time dep to eigen test

scipy is imported in pybind11/eigen.h when it encounters a sparse
matrix, which gets tested in the eigen test.

Add support for user defined exception translators

Skip eigen test when eigen header available but NumPy not

This allows (and changes the current examples) to exit with status 99 to
skip a test instead of outputting a special string ("NumPy missing").

This also fixes the eigen test, which currently fails when eigen
headers are available but NumPy is not, to skip instead of failing when
NumPy isn't available.

Fix gcc6 placement new warning

Otherwise this would create unknown option warnings under g++ < 6.

GCC-6 adds a -Wplacement-new warning that warns for placement-new into a
space that is too small, which is sometimes being triggered here (e.g.
example5 always generates the warning under g++-6).  It's a false
warning, however: the line immediately before just checked the size, and
so this line is never going to actually be reached in the cases where
the GCC warning is being triggered.

This localizes the warning disabling just to this one spot as there are
other placement-new uses in pybind11 where this warning could warn about
legitimate future problems.

 Add _<bool>("s1", "s2") ternary & use TYPE_CASTER

This commit adds an additional _ template function for compile-time
selection between two description strings.  This in turn allows the
elimination of needing two name() methods in type_caster<arithmetic
types> and type_caster<eigen types>, which allows them to start using
PYBIND11_TYPE_CASTER instead, simplifying their code by eliminating all
the code that they are duplicating from the macro.

Tighten check() test in eigen.py

Previous version would give false 'OK' if, for example, we were supposed
to get [1, 2, 3] but instead got [2, 1, 3].
