PR #936 broke the ability to return a pointer to a stl container (and, likewise, to a tuple) because the added deduced type matched a non-const pointer argument: the pointer-accepting `cast` in PYBIND11_TYPE_CASTER had a `const type *`, which is a worse match for a non-const pointer than the universal reference template #936 added. This changes the provided TYPE_CASTER cast(ptr) to take the pointer by template arg (so that it will accept either const or non-const pointer). It has two other effects: it slightly reduces .so size (because many type casters never actually need the pointer cast at all), and it allows type casters to provide their untemplated pointer `cast()` that will take precedence over the templated version provided in the macro.
