Python std::vector back-reference changes

Browse source 
Give reference in container_owner a more unique name (back_reference).
Change back-reference 'ret' typemap to have a function name so that they
are less unwittingly be used elsewhere where not intended.

Note that they can be overridden by users if needed using:

%extend std::vector {
%typemap(ret)
  value_type const& __getitem__,
  value_type const& front,
  value_type const& back
  { ...  }
}

These override the SWIG supplied versions because the SWIG supplied
typemaps use non-const value_type&, but the methods use const, so the
above have a higher precedence in the typemap search algorithm.
