This adds a tool that checks style (currently just for tabs instead of
spaces in files under include/tests/docs) and produces a travis-ci build
failure if any problems are found.
Fixes#365. `sysconfig.get_config_var('SO')` already returns the correct
PYTHON_MODULE_EXTENSION, even for debug builds, so there is no need to
add anything else manually.
Installing something outside the project directory from a cmake
invocation is overly intrusive; this changes tests/CMakeLists.txt to
just fail with an informative message instead, and changes the
travis-ci builds to install pytest via pip or apt-get.
ccache on Travis was never configured properly so the setting never
actually did anything. Enabling ccache for real brings other issues:
due to the way the preprocessor is handled, some of the Python header
macros produce bogus compiler warnings (which in turn produce errors
with -Werror). ccache also requires additional configuration on OS X
and docker. It would reduce compile time by ~30 seconds at best, so
it's not worth the trouble.

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).

- ICPC can't handle the NCVirt trampoline which returns a non-copyable
type, which is likely due to a constexpr/SFINAE issue. This disables
the test on that compiler so that at least the rest can be tested.
pytest can capture test output both globally (controlled by the cmd line
flag --capture) or locally (`capsys` and `capfd` fixtures). Enabling both
methods at the same time causes problems on Windows: test output is not
captured sometimes, resulting in test failure. This happens seemingly at
random.
This workaround disables global output capture ("-s", i.e. "--capture=no")
leaving only the local capture fixtures. As a side-effect test output on
AppVeyor CI is a little messy, but this will have to do until a better
solution is found.
Test compilation instructions for Windows were changed to use the
`cmake --build` command line invocation which should be easier than
manually setting up using the CMake GUI and Visual Studio.
The C++ part of the test code is modified to achieve this. As a result,
this kind of test:
```python
with capture:
kw_func1(5, y=10)
assert capture == "kw_func(x=5, y=10)"
```
can be replaced with a simple:
`assert kw_func1(5, y=10) == "x=5, y=10"`
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.
