pybind11 [WIP] Bake smart_holder functionality into `class_` and `type_caster

Description

WORK IN PROGRESS

Best to ignore this PR until all tests pass.

High-level approach:

Start with pybind11 master branch.
Make smart_holder the default holder.
Fix until all tests pass, while also adding in all tests from the smart_holder branch. (This is the hard part. Could take a while.)

Suggested changelog entry:

Current state testing with the Google-internal toolchain, using ASAN:

7 failing tests:

//third_party/pybind11/tests:test_copy_move
//third_party/pybind11/tests:test_opaque_types
//third_party/pybind11/tests:test_smart_ptr
//third_party/pybind11/tests:test_stl
//third_party/pybind11/tests:test_stl_binders
//third_party/pybind11/tests:test_tagbased_polymorphic
//third_party/pybind11/tests:test_vector_unique_ptr_member

All other tests run ASAN-clean. For completeness, this is the list of passing tests:

Tracking progress:

test_factory_constructors builds and runs successfully WITH ALL BAKEIN_BREAK removed.

This is still the same:

Regarding commit 127058cb16961526d185b6600511854723651ad5, the key observation leading to that bug fix was this:

< LOOOK DEREGISTER_INSTANCE START(PTR=AAA=, pytype=pybind11_tests.ccccccccccccccccccccc.D, cpptype=pybind11_tests::ccccccccccccccccccccc::D)
---
> LOOOK DEREGISTER_INSTANCE START(PTR=AAA=, pytype=pybind11_tests.ccccccccccccccccccccc.D, cpptype=pybind11_tests::ccccccccccccccccccccc::B)

Note cpptype D (correct) vs B (incorrect).

The correct line is from running test_ ccccccccccccccccccccc with the smart_holder branch, the incorrect line this PR before commit 127058cb16961526d185b6600511854723651ad5.

Milestone reached at commit ed27c37c4e064216aa2ceae64d1fe7d8e1e75a09:

Testing via GHA passes:
- All existing tests under master, with the only minor exceptions as noted previously under https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5213#issuecomment-2204180286.
- All** existing tests under the smart_holder branch, exactly as-is. (** 2 tests were intentionally not transferred to this PR: test_exc_namespace_visibility, test_type_caster_odr_guard_1)
Google-global testing, with several minor Google-internal adjustments outside the pybind11 source tree.

NOTE: smart_holder is still the default holder. — This is mainly intended to be a stress test.

The Google-global testing (internal ID: OCL:652909258:BASE:653492046:1721283711718:c0b9e029) identified only 3 use cases that break with smart_holder as the holder. These cases were fixed by explicitly requesting std::unique_ptr as the holder:

tensorflow/python/framework/experimental/: explicit std::unique_ptr holder for py::class_<TapeContext, ...> and py::class_<TracingContext, ...>
tensorflow/python/client/tf_session_wrapper.cc: explicit std::unique_ptr holder for py::class_<TF_Session>
nle/win/rl/pynethack.cc: explicit std::unique_ptr holder for two py::class_ using py::detail::is_new_style_constructor()
