3b265787f2 Document using atexit for module destructors on PyPy (#1169)
None of the three currently recommended approaches works on PyPy, due to
it not garbage collecting things when you want it to. Added a note with
example showing how to get interpreter shutdown callbacks using the Python
atexit module.

97aa54fefa Compile with hidden visibility always; set via cmake property rather than compiler flag
This updates the compilation to always apply hidden visibility to
resolve the issues with default visibility causing problems under debug
compilations.  Moreover using the cmake property makes it easier for a
caller to override if absolutely needed for some reason.

For `pybind11_add_module` we use cmake to set the property; for the
targets, we append to compilation option to non-MSVC compilers.

443ab5946b Replace PYBIND11_PLUGIN with PYBIND11_MODULE
This commit also adds `doc()` to `object_api` as a shortcut for the
`attr("__doc__")` accessor.

The module macro changes from:
```c++
PYBIND11_PLUGIN(example) {
    pybind11::module m("example", "pybind11 example plugin");
    m.def("add", [](int a, int b) { return a + b; });
    return m.ptr();
}
```

to:

```c++
PYBIND11_MODULE(example, m) {
    m.doc() = "pybind11 example plugin";
    m.def("add", [](int a, int b) { return a + b; });
}
```

Using the old macro results in a deprecation warning. The warning
actually points to the `pybind11_init` function (since attributes
don't bind to macros), but the message should be quite clear:
"PYBIND11_PLUGIN is deprecated, use PYBIND11_MODULE".

1ac19036d6 Add a scope guard call policy
```c++
m.def("foo", foo, py::call_guard<T>());
```

is equivalent to:

```c++
m.def("foo", [](args...) {
    T scope_guard;
    return foo(args...); // forwarded arguments
});
```

Added the docstring_options class, which gives global control over the generation of docstrings and function signatures.
