Python scripting (pybind11/boost.python) #151

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Toonzscript is very limited and from what I understand, Toonzscript is fairly outdated / hasn't been touched in a long time.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be really great if we could get some python bindings using a lib like pybind11 or boost.python and allow scripts to be run from some shortcuts / menu item / event (i.e "on startup")

Would allow for some great little plugins, (I've wanted to make a few convenience tools for a while) and in theory be much easier to maintain than, from what I can tell, a custom ECMAScript-like scripting language?

Any python environment bundled in could also include PyQt, and allow for users to make their own windows and be quite powerful.

If this does get implemented, it would also be great to have a repo or a wiki page of some kind where we can collate all user-made plugins! (:
