Magics and interaction with C++

• %%cpp for marking a cell for C++
• %%dcl for marking a cell for declaring C++ (e.g. for functions)
• ROOT.toCpp() to move from Python to C++
• toPython() to move from C++ to Python
• .decl for marking a cell for declaring C++ (e.g. for functions) in C++ mode (as %%dcl)
