Enhance SWIGTYPE "out" typemaps to use std::move when copying
objects, thereby making use of move semantics when wrapping a function returning
by value if the returned type supports move semantics.
Wrapping functions that return move only types 'by value' now work out the box
without having to provide custom typemaps.
The implementation removed all casts in the "out" typemaps to allow the compiler to
appropriately choose calling a move constructor, where possible, otherwise a copy
constructor. The implementation alsoand required modifying SwigValueWrapper to
change a cast operator from:
SwigValueWrapper::operator T&() const;
to
#if __cplusplus >=201103L
SwigValueWrapper::operator T&&() const;
#else
SwigValueWrapper::operator T&() const;
#endif
This is not backwards compatible for C++11 and later when using the valuewrapper feature
if a cast is explicitly being made in user supplied "out" typemaps. Suggested change
in custom "out" typemaps for C++11 and later code:
1. Try remove the cast altogether to let the compiler use an appropriate implicit cast.
2. Change the cast, for example, from static_cast<X &> to static_cast<X &&>, using the
__cplusplus macro if all versions of C++ need to be supported.

Added some missing "varout" typemaps for Ocaml which was falling back to
use "out" typemaps as they were missing.

This directory contains the HTML for the SWIG users manual.
All of this HTML is hand-written. However, section numbering, indices,
and the table of contents are generated automatically by the 'maketoc.py'
script. The Makefile has further information on how the various alternative
forms of the documentation are generated from the hand-written HTML.
There are 4 types of boxes that code or whatever can be inside:
- <div class="shell">...</div>
This is for text that shows the output of running commands on the shell.
- <div class="code">...</div>
This is for either C, C++, or SWIG code
- <div class="targetlang">...</div>
This is for code in a target scripting language
- <div class="diagram">...</div>
This is for text that is not code or a shell
The general format is
<div class="foo"><pre>
whatever here
</pre></div>
