Instead of copying all base class methods/attributes into derived classes,
make the type matching system recognize inheritance relationships. Base class
methods now naturally match derived objects through dynamic_object_typename_match,
and dispatch ordering ensures derived overrides are preferred over base methods.
This is simpler (net -25 lines) and avoids duplicating function registrations.

Classes can now inherit methods and attributes from a base class using
C++-style syntax: `class Derived : Base { ... }`. Base class methods and
attributes are automatically available on derived objects. Derived classes
can override base methods by defining a method with the same name.
Inheritance relationships are tracked to support proper type matching
in the dispatch system.

I initially tried to use the existing .clang-format file,
but it does not match the code style (at least with clang-format 11)
and the formatting is not consistent across files.
Therefore, I decided to rewrite the .clang-format with some personal
preferences.
Used command
find . -iname "*.hpp" -o -iname "*.cpp" | xargs clang-format -i -style=file
This modifies no logic, it simply adds the keyword `noexcept`
I believe this is 100% correct. It calls methods that are not
guaranteed to be `noexcept`, such as `operator[]` but have
no logically way of throwing.
This still has some exceptions thrown during the loading of modules
since I have no way of knowing where the operating system
`dlopen` and `LoadLibrary` functions will search for me to pre-check
it.
Closes#158
