e550589b42 Prefer non-converting argument overloads
This changes the function dispatching code for overloaded functions into
a two-pass procedure where we first try all overloads with
`convert=false` for all arguments.  If no function calls succeeds in the
first pass, we then try a second pass where we allow arguments to have
`convert=true` (unless, of course, the argument was explicitly specified
with `py::arg().noconvert()`).

For non-overloaded methods, the two-pass procedure is skipped (we just
make the overload-allowed call).  The second pass is also skipped if it
would result in the same thing (i.e. where all arguments are
`.noconvert()` arguments).

abc29cad02 Add support for non-converting arguments
This adds support for controlling the `convert` flag of arguments
through the py::arg annotation.  This then allows arguments to be
flagged as non-converting, which the type_caster is able to use to
request different behaviour.

Currently, AFAICS `convert` is only used for type converters of regular
pybind11-registered types; all of the other core type_casters ignore it.
We can, however, repurpose it to control internal conversion of
converters like Eigen and `array`: most usefully to give callers a way
to disable the conversion that would otherwise occur when a
`Eigen::Ref<const Eigen::Matrix>` argument is passed a numpy array that
requires conversion (either because it has an incompatible stride or the
wrong dtype).

Specifying a noconvert looks like one of these:

    m.def("f1", &f, "a"_a.noconvert() = "default"); // Named, default, noconvert
    m.def("f2", &f, "a"_a.noconvert()); // Named, no default, no converting
    m.def("f3", &f, py::arg().noconvert()); // Unnamed, no default, no converting

(The last part--being able to declare a py::arg without a name--is new:
previous py::arg() only accepted named keyword arguments).

Such an non-convert argument is then passed `convert = false` by the
type caster when loading the argument.  Whether this has an effect is up
to the type caster itself, but as mentioned above, this would be
extremely helpful for the Eigen support to give a nicer way to specify
a "no-copy" mode than the custom wrapper in the current PR, and
moreover isn't an Eigen-specific hack.

1d1f81b278 WIP: PyPy support (#527)
This commit includes modifications that are needed to get pybind11 to work with PyPy. The full test suite compiles and runs except for a last few functions that are commented out (due to problems in PyPy that were reported on the PyPy bugtracker).

Two somewhat intrusive changes were needed to make it possible: two new tags ``py::buffer_protocol()`` and ``py::metaclass()`` must now be specified to the ``class_`` constructor if the class uses the buffer protocol and/or requires a metaclass (e.g. for static properties).

Note that this is only for the PyPy version based on Python 2.7 for now. When the PyPy 3.x has caught up in terms of cpyext compliance, a PyPy 3.x patch will follow.

03f627ebb1 Make reference(_internal) the default return value policy for properties (#473)
* Make reference(_internal) the default return value policy for properties

Before this, all `def_property*` functions used `automatic` as their
default return value policy. This commit makes it so that:

 * Non-static properties use `reference_interal` by default, thus
   matching `def_readonly` and `def_readwrite`.

 * Static properties use `reference` by default, thus matching
   `def_readonly_static` and `def_readwrite_static`.

In case `cpp_function` is passed to any `def_property*`, its policy will
be used instead of any defaults. User-defined arguments in `extras`
still have top priority and will override both the default policies and
the ones from `cpp_function`.

Resolves #436.

* Almost always use return_value_policy::move for rvalues

For functions which return rvalues or rvalue references, the only viable
return value policies are `copy` and `move`. `reference(_internal)` and
`take_ownership` would take the address of a temporary which is always
an error.

This commit prevents possible user errors by overriding the bad rvalue
policies with `move`. Besides `move`, only `copy` is allowed, and only
if it's explicitly selected by the user.

This is also a necessary safety feature to support the new default
return value policies for properties: `reference(_internal)`.

5b7e190fa2 Fix def_property and related functions
Making `cppfunction` explicit broke `def_property` and friends.
The added tests would not compile without an implicit `cppfunction`.

b8cb5ca7bd Fix dynamic attribute inheritance in C++
`PyType_Ready` would usually perform the inheritance for us, but it
can't adjust `tp_basicsize` appropriately.

52f4be8946 Make test initialization self-registering
Adding or removing tests is a little bit cumbersome currently: the test
needs to be added to CMakeLists.txt, the init function needs to be
predeclared in pybind11_tests.cpp, then called in the plugin
initialization.  While this isn't a big deal for tests that are being
committed, it's more of a hassle when working on some new feature or
test code for which I temporarily only care about building and linking
the test being worked on rather than the entire test suite.

This commit changes tests to self-register their initialization by
having each test initialize a local object (which stores the
initialization function in a static variable).  This makes changing the
set of tests being build easy: one only needs to add or comment out
test names in tests/CMakeLists.txt.

A couple other minor changes that go along with this:

- test_eigen.cpp is now included in the test list, then removed if eigen
  isn't available.  This lets you disable the eigen tests by commenting
  it out, just like all the other tests, but keeps the build working
  without eigen eigen isn't available.  (Also, if it's commented out, we
  don't even bother looking for and reporting the building with/without
  eigen status message).

- pytest is now invoked with all the built test names (with .cpp changed
  to .py) so that it doesn't try to run tests that weren't built.

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.
