* Always call PyNumber_Index when casting from Python to a C++ integral type, also pre-3.8
* Fixed on PyPy
* Simplify use of PyNumber_Index, following @rwgk's idea, and ignore warnings in >=3.8
* Reproduce mismatch between pre-3.8 and post-3.8 behavior on __index__ throwing TypeError
* Fix tests on 3.6 <= Python < 3.8
* No, I don't have an uninitialized variable
* Fix use of __index__ on Python 2
* Make types in test_int_convert more ~boring~ descriptive
* Force the builtin module key to be the correct type.
Previously it was always going to be a std::string which converted into
unicode. Python 2 appears to want module keys to be normal str types, so
this was breaking code that expected plain string types in the
builtins.keys() data structure
* Add a simple unit test to ensure all built-in keys are str
* Update the unit test so it will also run on pypy
* Run pre-commit.

docs: pybind11/numpy.h does not require numpy at build time. (#2720)
This is nice enough to be mentioned explicitly in the docs.
docs: Update warning about Python 3.9.0 UB, now that 3.9.1 has been released (#2719)
Adjusting `type_caster<std::reference_wrapper<T>>` to support const/non-const propagation in `cast_op`. (#2705)
* Allow type_caster of std::reference_wrapper<T> to be the same as a native reference.
Before, both std::reference_wrapper<T> and std::reference_wrapper<const T> would
invoke cast_op<type>. This doesn't allow the type_caster<> specialization for T
to distinguish reference_wrapper types from value types.
After, the type_caster<> specialization invokes cast_op<type&>, which allows
reference_wrapper to behave in the same way as a native reference type.
* Add tests/examples for std::reference_wrapper<const T>
* Add tests which use mutable/immutable variants
This test is a chimera; it blends the pybind11 casters with a custom
pytype implementation that supports immutable and mutable calls.
In order to detect the immutable/mutable state, the cast_op needs
to propagate it, even through e.g. std::reference<const T>
Note: This is still a work in progress; some things are crashing,
which likely means that I have a refcounting bug or something else
missing.
* Add/finish tests that distinguish const& from &
Fixes the bugs in my custom python type implementation,
demonstrate test that requires const& and reference_wrapper<const T>
being treated differently from Non-const.
* Add passing a const to non-const method.
* Demonstrate non-const conversion of reference_wrapper in tests.
Apply formatting presubmit check.

* PyDECREF -> Py_DECREF
* copy/move constructors
* Resolve codereview comments

* Make the test fail even when the static_assert is commented out.
This expands the test_freezable_type_caster a bit by:
1/ adding accessors .is_immutable and .addr to compare identity
from python.
2/ Changing the default cast_op of the type_caster<> specialization
to return a non-const value. In normal codepaths this is a reasonable
default.
3/ adding roundtrip variants to exercise the by reference, by pointer
and by reference_wrapper in all call paths. In conjunction with 2/, this
demonstrates the failure case of the existing std::reference_wrpper conversion,
which now loses const in a similar way that happens when using the default cast_op_type<>.
* apply presubmit formatting
* Revert inclusion of test_freezable_type_caster
There's some concern that this test is a bit unwieldly because of the use
of the raw <Python.h> functions. Removing for now.
* Add a test that validates const references propagation.
This test verifies that cast_op may be used to correctly detect
const reference types when used with std::reference_wrapper.
* mend
* Review comments based changes.
1. std::add_lvalue_reference<type> -> type&
2. Simplify the test a little more; we're never returning the ConstRefCaster
type so the class_ definition can be removed.
* formatted files again.
* Move const_ref_caster test to builtin_casters
* Review comments: use cast_op and adjust some comments.
* Simplify ConstRefCasted test
I like this version better as it moves the assertion that matters
back into python.

I like this version better as it moves the assertion that matters
back into python.
This line had two bugs:
1. It declares `py::detail::class_` as `friend`.
2. After fixing that, we would have to change it to
`template <typename, typename...>`
The first one was introduced ~5 years ago, when a large refactoring was
made, probably as an intermediate step during refactoring.
The second was made when `generic_type` was made to be agnostic with
respect to the order of `py::class_` template parameters.
We're removing the declaration altogether, because it was never relied
on. This is what makes me think that it was an intermediate step in
refactoring that shouldn't have ended up in commit history.

* Initializing PyModuleDef object with PyModuleDef_HEAD_INIT.
Python 3.8 documentation: m_base - Always initialize this member to PyModuleDef_HEAD_INIT.
Long-standing (since first github commit in 2015), inconsequential bug.

* git rebase master
* moving static PyModuleDef declaration to global scope, as requested by @wjakob

This changes enum reprs to look like `<Enum.name: value>` similarly to
the Python enum module.
This keeps the str of enums as `Enum.name`, like the Python enum module.
Support C++20. For backwards compatibility, we provide an alias for the old name.
This change is necessary to easily avoid errors when a compiler thinks
`module` is used as a keyword.

Adding missing `bytes` type to `test_constructors()`, to exercise the code change.
The changes in the PR were cherry-picked from PR #2409 (with a very minor
modification in test_pytypes.py related to flake8). Via PR #2409, these
changes were extensively tested in the Google environment, as summarized here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TPL-J__mph_yHa1quDvsO12E_F5OZnvBaZlW9IIrz8M/
The changes in this PR did not cause an issues at all.
Note that `test_constructors()` before this PR passes for Python 2 only
because `pybind11::str` can hold `PyUnicodeObject` or `PyBytesObject`. As a
side-effect of this PR, `test_constructors()` no longer relies on this
permissive `pybind11::str` behavior. However, the permissive behavior is still
exercised/exposed via the existing `test_pybind11_str_raw_str()`.
The test code change is designed to enable easy removal later, when Python 2
support is dropped.
For completeness: confusingly, the non-test code changes travelled through PR
Example `ambiguous conversion` error fixed by this PR:
```
pybind11/tests/test_pytypes.cpp:214:23: error: ambiguous conversion for functional-style cast from 'pybind11::detail::item_accessor' (aka 'accessor<accessor_policies::generic_item>') to 'py::bytes'
