py::arg() doesn't only specify named arguments anymore, so the error
message was misleading (e.g. when using `py::arg().noconvert()` and
forgetting `py::arg()` for a second positional argument).

We now require (and enforce at compile time):
- GCC 4.8+
- clang 3.3+ (5.0+ for Apple's renumbered clang)
- MSVC 2015u3+
- ICC 15+

This also updates the versions listed in the README, and removes a
now-redundant MSVC version check.

This adds brief API documentation for make_iterator/make_key_iterator,
specifically mentioning that it requires InputIterators.

Closes #734.

[skip ci] (no code change here)

We can't support this for classes from imported modules (which is the
primary purpose of a ctor argument base class) because we *have* to
have both parent and derived to properly extract a multiple-inheritance
base class pointer from a derived class pointer.

We could support this for actual `class_<Base, ...> instances, but since
in that case the `Base` is already present in the code, it seems more
consistent to simply always require MI to go via template options.

This puts the fold expressions behind the feature macro instead of a
general C++17 macro.

It also adds a fold expression optimization to constexpr_sum (guarded
by the same feature macro).

Fixes #738

The current check for conformability fails when given a 2D, 1xN or Nx1
input to a row-major or column-major, respectively, Eigen::Ref, leading
to a copy-required state in the type_caster, but this later failed
because the copy was also non-conformable because it had the same shape
and strides (because a 1xN or Nx1 is both F and C contiguous).

In such cases we can safely ignore the stride on the "1" dimension since
it'll never be used: only the "N" dimension stride needs to match the
Eigen::Ref stride, which both fixes the non-conformable copy problem,
but also avoids a copy entirely as long as the "N" dimension has a
compatible stride.

Instead of relying on sometimes missing C++17 definitions

This adds VS 2017 to the build matrix, plus various other small
appveyor build changes:

- conda version bumped from 3.5 to 3.6
- build newer versions/architectures/python first (i.e. VS2017/x64/3.6
  is the first build, VS2015/x86/2.7 is the last)
- stop building after a job failure: often a build failure in one
  occurs everywhere; this just stops processing jobs (freeing them up
  for other PRs) if an error is hit.

Annoyingly, appveyor doesn't allow excluding tests: i.e. the test matrix
is always dense (appveyor issue 386), so for now we'll just run
everything.  (Once appveyor issue 386 is resolved, we can come back and
cut this down to 4-5 builds).

Fixes #731.

Generally, this applies to any caster made with PYBIND11_TYPE_CASTER().

Fixes #728.

Allows equivalent integral types and numpy dtypes

Allows use of vectors as python buffers, so for example they can be adopted without a copy by numpy.asarray
Allows faster conversion of buffers to vectors by copying instead of individually casting the elements

* Add value_type member alias to py::array_t (resolve #632)

* Use numpy scalar name in py::array_t function signatures (e.g. float32/64 instead of just float)

This won't affect much, but makes the code consistent with the
non-copying branch.

Fixes #697

The `decltype(...)` in the template parameter that gives us SFINAE
matching for a lambda makes MSVC 2017 ICE; this works around if by
changing the test to an explicit not-a-function-or-pointer test, which
seems to work everywhere.

RTD updated their build environment which broke the 1.8.14.dev build of
doxygen that we were using. The update also breaks the conda-forge build
of 1.8.13 (but that version has other issues).

Luckily, the RTD update did bring their doxygen version up to 1.8.11
which is enough to parse the C++11 code we need (ref qualifiers) and it
also avoids the segfault found in 1.8.13.

Since we're using the native doxygen, conda isn't required anymore and
we can simplify the RTD configuration.

Some versions of Python 2.7 reportedly (#713) have issues with
PyUnicode_Decode being passed the encoding string, so just skip it
entirely by calling the PyUnicode_DecodeUTF* function directly.  This
will also be slightly more efficient by avoiding having to check the
encoding string, and (for python 2) going through the unicode class's
decode (python 3 fast-tracks this for all utf-{8,16,32} encodings;
python 2 only fast-tracked for the exact string "utf-8", which we
weren't passing anyway (we had "utf8")).

This doesn't work for PyPy, however: its `PyUnicode_DecodeUTF{8,16,32}`
appear rather broken: the UTF8 one segfaults, while the 16/32 require
recasting into a non-const `char *` (and might segfault; I didn't get
far enough to find out).  Just avoid the whole thing by keeping the
encoding-passed-as-string version for PyPy, which seems to work
reliably.

The duration calculation was using %, but that's only supported on
duration objects when the arithmetic type supports %, and hence fails
for floats.  Fixed by subtracting off the calculated values instead.

This adds a linux docker clang 4.0 with libc++ and c++1z build.

* Add `pytest.ini` config file and set default options there instead of
  in `CMakeLists.txt` (command line arguments).

* Change all output capture from `capfd` (filedescriptors) to `capsys`
  (Python's `sys.stdout` and `sys.stderr`). This avoids capturing
  low-level C errors, e.g. from the debug build of Python.

* Set pytest minimum version to 3.0 to make it easier to use new
  features. Removed conditional use of `excinfo.match()`.

* Clean up some leftover function-level `@pytest.requires_numpy`.

Nightlies for pypy no longer run on Ubuntu 12.04; change the pypy build
distribution to the travis-ci trusty (i.e. 14.04) beta container.

The pypy build was also installing numpy and scipy for the *system*
python version, which was pointless; this also adds a guard to the
eigen/numpy/scipy install code with a !PYPY check.

When using pybind::options to disable function signatures, user-defined
docstrings only get appended if they exist, but newlines were getting
appended unconditionally, so the docstring could end up with blank lines
(depending on which overloads, in particular, provided docstrings).

This commit suppresses the empty lines by only adding newlines for
overloads when needed.

This makes array_t respect overload resolution and noconvert by failing
to load when `convert = false` if the src isn't already an array of the
correct type.

Remove extraneous `enum_` python constructor

Added in 6fb48490

The second constructor can't be doing anything--the signatures are
exactly the same, and so the first is always going to be the one
invoked by the dispatcher.

Expose enum_ entries as new "__members__" attribute

Commit 11a337f1 added major and minor python version
checking to cast.h but does not use the macros defined
via the Python.h inclusion. This may be due to an
intention to use the variables defined by the cmake
module FindPythonInterpreter, but nothing in the
pybind11 repo does anything to convert the cmake
variables to preprocessor defines.

* The definition of `PySequence_Fast` is more restrictive on PyPy, so
  use the slow path instead.
* `PyDict_Next` has been fixed in PyPy -> remove workaround.

Slightly reduces binary size (range for loops over tuple/list benefit
a lot). The iterators are compatible with std algorithms.

The added type aliases are required by `std::iterator_traits`.
Python iterators satisfy the `InputIterator` concept in C++.

Before this, `py::iterator` didn't do any error handling, so code like:
```c++
for (auto item : py::int_(1)) {
    // ...
}
```
would just silently skip the loop. The above now throws `TypeError` as
expected. This is a breaking behavior change, but any code which relied
on the silent skip was probably broken anyway.

Also, errors returned by `PyIter_Next()` are now properly handled.

Fixes test failure on Fedora 25.
