Allow passing base types as a template parameter

This allows a slightly cleaner base type specification of:

    py::class_<Type, Base>("Type")

as an alternative to

    py::class_<Type>("Type", py::base<Base>())

As with the other template parameters, the order relative to the holder
or trampoline types doesn't matter.

This also includes a compile-time assertion failure if attempting to
specify more than one base class (but is easily extendible to support
multiple inheritance, someday, by updating the class_selector::set_bases
function to set multiple bases).
