42e5ddc541 Add a polymorphic static assert when using an alias
An alias can be used for two main purposes: to override virtual methods,
and to add some extra data to a class needed for the pybind-wrapper.
Both of these absolutely require that the wrapped class be polymorphic
so that virtual dispatch and destruction, respectively, works.

7437c69500 Add py::module_local() attribute for module-local type bindings
This commit adds a `py::module_local` attribute that lets you confine a
registered type to the module (more technically, the shared object) in
which it is defined, by registering it with:

    py::class_<C>(m, "C", py::module_local())

This will allow the same C++ class `C` to be registered in different
modules with independent sets of class definitions.  On the Python side,
two such types will be completely distinct; on the C++ side, the C++
type resolves to a different Python type in each module.

This applies `py::module_local` automatically to `stl_bind.h` bindings
when the container value type looks like something global: i.e. when it
is a converting type (for example, when binding a `std::vector<int>`),
or when it is a registered type itself bound with `py::module_local`.
This should help resolve potential future conflicts (e.g. if two
completely unrelated modules both try to bind a `std::vector<int>`.
Users can override the automatic selection by adding a
`py::module_local()` or `py::module_local(false)`.

Note that this does mildly break backwards compatibility: bound stl
containers of basic types like `std::vector<int>` cannot be bound in one
module and returned in a different module.  (This can be re-enabled with
`py::module_local(false)` as described above, but with the potential for
eventual load conflicts).

a03408c839 Add support custom sized operator deletes (#952)
If a class doesn't provide a `T::operator delete(void *)` but does have
a `T::operator delete(void *, size_t)` the latter is invoked by a
`delete someT`.  Pybind currently only look for and call the former;
this commit adds detection and calling of the latter when the former
doesn't exist.
