For single-file extensions, a convenient pattern offered by cython
is to place the source files directly in the python source tree
(`foo/__init__.py`, `foo/ext.pyx`), deriving the package names from
their filesystem location. Adapt this pattern for pybind11, using an
`intree_extensions` helper, which should be thought of as the moral
equivalent to `cythonize`.
Differences with cythonize: I chose not to include globbing support
(`intree_extensions(glob.glob("**/*.cpp"))` seems sufficient), nor to
provide extension-customization kwargs (directly setting the attributes
on the resulting Pybind11Extension objects seems sufficient).
We could choose to have `intree_extension` (singular instead) and make
users write `[*map(intree_extension, glob.glob("**/*.cpp"))]`; no strong
opinion here.
