baldurk 6969b5b677 Fix refcounting and lifetime management around async python callbacks
* We need to keep a PythonContext (and its globals Dict) around while
  we still have some pending callbacks happening. So now the external
  code creates a PythonContext and then releases it when it's done, but
  the context will hang around until the global redirector object is
  destructed, which is responsible for deleting the context.
* The global redirector is deleted when a refcounting cycle is detected
  and the dict is unreachable, which only happens after the context is
  released.
* Any time a callback is passed to something and converted to a
  std::function we add a reference on the global redirector to keep it
  alive. When the callback has finished executing we remove the ref.
* This way, any pending callbacks that have been called but not finished
  or converted (queued) and not called yet asynchronously will keep the
  context object alive to be able to output, handle exceptions, etc.
* Additionally we need to detect when we're being called asynchronously
  and handle exceptions separately instead of trying to propagate up the
  call chain, because there might not be any more python code up the
  chain (e.g. the render manager calling a python callback).

* On linux we make it optional since it's too large a project to add
  as a build step via ExternalProject_add.

baldurk 849f5b443d Change python handling from sub-interpreters to per-context globals
* Using a separate dict for globals/locals for each interpreter means we
  still get separation of variables and no persistence where we don't
  want it, but removing sub-interpreters means pyside can work as it
  uses the PyGILState_ APIs which do not support sub-interpreters.
* We import everything up front then duplicate the __main__ each time we
  create a new context so we keep the __main__ pristine and muck up an
  individual copy.
* Because sys is now shared, the output redirectors that overwrite
  sys.stdout and sys.stderr have a NULL context, and instead they look
  up a specific global which contains the actual context pointer.
