This uses the environment variable `YOSYS_PLUGIN_PATH` to provide multiple colon-delimited search paths for native plugins in a similar manner to `PATH` for executables and `PYTHONPATH` for Python modules.
This addresses https://github.com/YosysHQ/yosys/issues/2545, allowing Yosys to be better packaged in non-FHS environments such as Nix.
For consistency.
Also trying a new thing: only rebuilding objects that use the pybind11 library. The idea is these are the only objects that include the Python/pybind headers and thus the only ones that depend on the Python ABI in any capacity, so other objects can be reused across wheel builds. This has the potential to cut down build times.
- Rewrite all Python features to use the pybind11 library instead of boost::python.
Unlike boost::python, pybind11 is a header-only library that is just included by Pyosys code, saving a lot of compile time on wheels.
- Factor out as much "translation" code from the generator into proper C++ files
- Fix running the embedded interpreter not supporting "from pyosys import libyosys as ys" like wheels
- Move Python-related elements to `pyosys` directory at the root of the repo
- Slight shift in bridging semantics:
- Containers are declared as "opaque types" and are passed by reference to Python - many methods have been implemented to make them feel right at home without the overhead/ambiguity of copying to Python and then copying back after mutation
- Monitor/Pass use "trampoline" pattern to support virual methods overridable in Python: virtual methods no longer require `py_` prefix
- Create really short test set for pyosys that just exercises basic functionality
Rename passes/cmds from "General passes" to "Design modification".
More `yosys.h` includes.

o Not all derived methods were marked 'override', but it is a great
feature of C++11 that we should make use of.
o While at it: touched header files got a -*- c++ -*- for emacs to
provide support for that language.
o use YS_OVERRIDE for all override keywords (though we should probably
use the plain keyword going forward now that C++11 is established)
