dependencies: add pybind11 custom factory
This works with pkg-config and cmake without any special support. The
custom factory adds further support for config-tool, via
`pybind11-config`. This is useful because the config-tool will work out
of the box when pybind11 is installed, but the pkg-config and cmake
files are shoved into python's site-packages, which is an unfortunate
distribution model and makes it impossible to use in an out of the box
manner.
It's possible to manually set up the PKG_CONFIG_PATH to detect it
anyway, but in case that does not happen, having the config-tool
fallback is extremely useful.
