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'
"bytes"_a=py::bytes(d["bytes"]),

```
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`.

object_api::operator[] has a powerful overload for py::handle that can
accept slices, tuples (for NumPy), etc.
Lists, sequences, and tuples provide their own specialized operator[],
which unfortunately disables this functionality. This is accidental, and
the purpose of this commit is to re-enable the more general behavior.
This commit is tangentially related to the previous one in that it makes
py::handle/py::object et al. behave more like their Python counterparts.
This commit revamps the object_api class so that it maps most C++
operators to their Python analogs. This makes it possible to, e.g.
perform arithmetic using a py::int_ or py::array.
There are two separate additions:
1. `py::hash(obj)` is equivalent to the Python `hash(obj)`.
2. `.def(hash(py::self))` registers the hash function defined by
`std::hash<T>` as the Python hash function.
