remove internal use of metaclasses
All but one metaclass used internally can now be replaced using __init_subclass__(). Within this patch we remove: * events._EventMeta * sql.visitors.TraversibleType * sql.visitors.InternalTraversibleType * testing.fixtures.FindFixture * testing.fixtures.FindFixtureDeclarative * langhelpers.EnsureKWArgType * sql.functions._GenericMeta * sql.type_api.VisitableCheckKWArg (was a mixture of TraversibleType and EnsureKWArgType) The remaining internal class is MetaOptions used by the sql.Options object which is in turn currently mostly for ORM internal use, as this type implements class level overrides for the ``+`` operator. For declarative, removing DeclarativeMeta in place of an `__init_subclass__()` class would not be fully feasible as it would break backwards compatibility with applications that refer to this class explicitly, but also DeclarativeMeta intercepts class-level attribute set and delete operations which is a widely used pattern. An option for declarative base to use `__init_subclass__()` should be provided but this is out of scope for this particular change.
