It limits the support for CMake 3.12+, but it's much less verbose and I
don't expect people to use ancient CMake versions with IDEs like Xcode
or VS anyway, so this should be fine.
Compared to having to subclass every type that can reference external
data, this has several advantages for 3rd party binding code:
* it doesn't need to worry about the additional type when binding
function arguments (currently it had to provide lambdas that accept
the PyFoo subtype instead of just Foo)
* and it can now easily bind those types also for function
return values and properties -- the return type doesn't need to be
subclassed (which in case of move-only types is practically
impossible) but instead just wrapped in a holder along with the
memory owner object reference
The new holders also assert that memory owner is always specified unless
the data is empty.
