- Fixes #2103

- Not currently supported on PyPy

* Support C++17 aligned new statement

This patch makes pybind11 aware of nonstandard alignment requirements in
bound types and passes on this information to C++17 aligned 'new'
operator. Pre-C++17, the behavior is unchanged.

* Fix potential crash when calling an overloaded function

The crash would occur if:
- dispatcher() uses two-pass logic (because the target is overloaded and some arguments support conversions)
- the first pass (with conversions disabled) doesn't find any matching overload
- the second pass does find a matching overload, but its return value can't be converted to Python

The code for formatting the error message assumed `it` still pointed to the selected overload,
but during the second-pass loop `it` was nullptr. Fix by setting `it` correctly if a second-pass
call returns a nullptr `handle`. Add a new test that segfaults without this fix.

* Make overload iteration const-correct so we don't have to iterate again on second-pass error

* Change test_error_after_conversions dependencies to local classes/variables

This updates the `py::init` constructors to only use brace
initialization for aggregate initiailization if there is no constructor
with the given arguments.

This, in particular, fixes the regression in #1247 where the presence of
a `std::initializer_list<T>` constructor started being invoked for
constructor invocations in 2.2 even when there was a specific
constructor of the desired type.

The added test case demonstrates: without this change, it fails to
compile because the `.def(py::init<std::vector<int>>())` constructor
tries to invoke the `T(std::initializer_list<std::vector<int>>)`
constructor rather than the `T(std::vector<int>)` constructor.

By only using `new T{...}`-style construction when a `T(...)`
constructor doesn't exist, we should bypass this by while still allowing
`py::init<...>` to be used for aggregate type initialization (since such
types, by definition, don't have a user-declared constructor).

A few fixes related to how we set `__qualname__` and how we show the
type name in function signatures:

- `__qualname__` isn't supposed to have the module name at the
beginning, but we've been putting it there.  This removes it, while
keeping the `Nested.Class` name chaining.

- print `__module__.__qualname__` rather than `type->tp_name`; the
latter doesn't work properly for nested classes, so we would get
`module.B` rather than `module.A.B` for a class `B` with parent `A`.
This also unifies the Python 3 and PyPy code.  Fixes #1166.

- This now sets a `__qualname__` attribute on the type (as would happen
in Python 3.3+) for Python <3.3, including PyPy.  While not particularly
important to have in earlier Python versions, it's useful for us to be
able to extracted the nested name, which is why `__qualname__` was
invented in the first place.

- Added tests for the above.

Creating an instance of of a pybind11-bound type caused a reference leak in the
associated Python type object, which could prevent these from being collected
upon interpreter shutdown. This commit fixes that issue for all types that are
defined in a scope (e.g. a module). Unscoped anonymous types (e.g. custom
iterator types) always retain a positive reference count to prevent their
collection.

This reimplements the py::init<...> implementations using the various
functions added to support `py::init(...)`, and moves the implementing
structs into `detail/init.h` from `pybind11.h`.  It doesn't simply use a
factory directly, as this is a very common case and implementation
without an extra lambda call is a small but useful optimization.

This, combined with the previous lazy initialization, also avoids
needing placement new for `py::init<...>()` construction: such
construction now occurs via an ordinary `new Type(...)`.

A consequence of this is that it also fixes a potential bug when using
multiple inheritance from Python: it was very easy to write classes
that double-initialize an existing instance which had the potential to
leak for non-pod classes.  With the new implementation, an attempt to
call `__init__` on an already-initialized object is now ignored.  (This
was already done in the previous commit for factory constructors).

This change exposed a few warnings (fixed here) from deleting a pointer
to a base class with virtual functions but without a virtual destructor.
These look like legitimate warnings that we shouldn't suppress; this
adds virtual destructors to the appropriate classes.

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.

If a class doesn't provide a `T::operator delete(void *)` but does have
a `T::operator delete(void *, size_t)` the latter is invoked by a
`delete someT`.  Pybind currently only look for and call the former;
this commit adds detection and calling of the latter when the former
doesn't exist.
