Fix and document the naturalvar feature override behaviour - the naturalvar
feature attached to a variable name has precedence over the naturalvar
feature attached to the variable's type. The overriding was not working
when turning the feature off on the variable's name.
Fix so that any use of the naturalvar feature will override the global
setting. Previously when set globally by -naturalvar or %module(naturalvar=1),
use of the naturalvar feature was not always honoured.
This changeset resolves several issues related to python imports.
For example, it's possible now to import modules having same module
names, but belonging to different packages.
From the user's viewpoint, this patch gives a little bit more control on
import directives generated by swig. The user may choose to use relative
or absolute imports (docs are provided in separate PR).
Some details:
- we (still) generate import directives in form 'import a.b.c' which
corresponds to absolute imports in python3 and (the only available)
ambiguous one in python2.
- added -relativeimport option to use explicit relative import syntax
(python3),
Tests are under Examples/python, these are in fact regression tests but
with the current swig testing framework it seems to be impossible to put
appropriate tests under test-suite.

prefer polymorphism on existing destructor over custom destructor method
fix string mangled by tidy
eliminate dead director code and convert remaining blocks
mitigate ConvertPtr director cost when directors are not enabled
steals python director docs and adapts to perl5
adds "callback" and "extend" examples
don't forget the most important part
steals python directors and adapts to perl5
fixed language symbol table nested classes name separator, test added
fixed %feature "flatnested" working with %extend
fixed Swig_offset_string for empty string
added simple template to save/restore values in current scope (readability reasons)
