* 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.
