Draft: Drop python2 support and bump the pybind11 version

Andrii Verbytskyi requested to merge drop_python2_support into master

Drop python2 support and bump the pybind11 version. The reasons are:

  • Python 2 is obsolete and does not work with the newer pybind11 versions.
  • Python 2 requires more extensions for the cmake setup.

The reasons to wait:

  • Python2 is the default for CentOS7, which will be retired only in 1 year. So the milestone for this MR is either 3.3.0, or even some further versions if 3.3.0 will come before the retirement of CentOS7.
