allow auto wrapping temporary C++ objects (implementation of #113)

Added `class_::auto_wrap_objects()` function to set an `auto_wrap_objects_`
flag in the `object_registry` for a wrapped class.

Added `class_::find_object(obj)` overloaded function for an object reference, to
create a clone of the `obj` with `Traits::clone()` and to wrap the cloned object
for the JavaScript side, if no such an instance was found.

Added `clone(T const& src)` template function into `raw_ptr_traits, `shared_ptr_traits`,
to create a copy of `src` with a copy constructor of class T.

Using the added `class_::find_object(obj)` overloading in `convert<T>` specializations
for a wrapped class T references, both for `raw_ptr_traits and `shared_ptr_traits`.

Added a simple test case with a function returning an unwrapped C++ object, and
accessing it from JavaScript. The returned objects shall be valid in JavaScript,
since the `vpp8:class_.auto_wrap_objects(true)` for the test class.
