2686da8350 Add support for positional args with args/kwargs
This commit rewrites the function dispatcher code to support mixing
regular arguments with py::args/py::kwargs arguments.  It also
simplifies the argument loader noticeably as it no longer has to worry
about args/kwargs: all of that is now sorted out in the dispatcher,
which now simply appends a tuple/dict if the function takes
py::args/py::kwargs, then passes all the arguments in a vector.

When the argument loader hit a py::args or py::kwargs, it doesn't do
anything special: it just calls the appropriate type_caster just like it
does for any other argument (thus removing the previous special cases
for args/kwargs).

Switching to passing arguments in a single std::vector instead of a pair
of tuples also makes things simpler, both in the dispatch and the
argument_loader: since this argument list is strictly pybind-internal
(i.e. it never goes to Python) we have no particular reason to use a
Python tuple here.

Some (intentional) restrictions:
- you may not bind a function that has args/kwargs somewhere other than
  the end (this somewhat matches Python, and keeps the dispatch code a
  little cleaner by being able to not worry about where to inject the
  args/kwargs in the argument list).
- If you specify an argument both positionally and via a keyword
  argument, you get a TypeError alerting you to this (as you do in
  Python).

16db1bfbd7 Remove superseded handle::operator() overloads
The variadic handle::operator() offers the same functionality as well
as mixed positional, keyword, * and ** arguments. The tests are also
superseded by the ones in `test_callbacks`.

665e8804f3 Simplify tests by replacing output capture with asserts where possible
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"`

a0c1ccf0a9 Port tests to pytest
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.
