* Add py::object casting example to embedding docs
* Move implicit cast example to object.rst
* Move to bottom and improve implicit casting text
* Fix xref
* Improve wording as per @bstaletic's suggestion
* ci: harden chrono test, mark another macos 4.9 dev failure
This should help with a little of the flakiness seen with the timing test
* Update tests/test_chrono.py
* Can also fail
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'

The main change is to treat error_already_set as a separate category
of exception that arises in different circumstances and needs to be
handled differently. The asymmetry between Python and C++ exceptions
is further emphasized.
* tests: keep source dir clean
* ci: make first build inplace
* ci: drop dev setting (wasn't doing anything)
* tests: warn if source directory is dirty
* docs: move helpers to .github where allowed
* docs: more guidelines in CONTRIBUTING
* chore: update issue templates
* fix: review from @bstaletic
* refactor: a few points from @rwgk
* docs: more touchup, review changes
* tests: refactor and cleanup
* refactor: more consistent
* tests: vendor six
* tests: more xfails, nicer system
* tests: simplify to info
* tests: suggestions from @YannickJadoul and @bstaletic
* tests: restore some pypy tests that now pass
* tests: rename info to env
* tests: strict False/True
* tests: drop explicit strict=True again
* tests: reduce minimum PyTest to 3.1
To deal with exceptions that hit destructors or other noexcept functions.
Includes fixes to support Python 2.7 and extends documentation on
error handling.
@virtuald and @YannickJadoul both contributed to this PR.
Important gain: uniformity & therefore easier cleanup when we drop PY2 support.
Very slight loss: it was nice to have `str is bytes` as a reminder in this specific context.
* Fix warning C26817: Potentially expensive copy of variable 'vh' in range-for loop. Consider making it a const reference (es.71).
* Replace another instance of `for (auto vh : values_and_holders(...))` with `auto vh &` (found by @bstaletic)

* Modified Vector STL bind initialization from a buffer type with optimization for simple arrays
* Add subtests to demonstrate processing Python buffer protocol objects with step > 1
* Fixed memoryview step test to only run on Python 3+
* Modified Vector constructor from buffer to return by value for readability
These tests will also alert us to any behavior changes across Python and PyPy versions.
Hardening tests in preparation for changing `pybind11::str` to only hold `PyUnicodeObject` (NOT also `bytes`). Note that this test exposes that `pybind11::str` can also hold `bytes`.
