Give subclasses of the Instance traitlet the option of overriding the klass variable to have a default klass.
Give subclasses of the Instance traitlet the option of overriding the klass variable to have a default klass.

This makes it easy to construct traitlets for specific object types and default metadata.  For example, we can have a traitlet for numpy arrays that gives default values for `to_json` and `from_json`:

```python
def np_to_list(a):
    if a is not None:
        return a.tolist()
def np_from_list(a):
    if a is not None:
        return np.array(a)

class NDArray(Instance):
    klass = np.ndarray
    metadata = {'to_json': np_to_list,
                'from_json': np_from_list}
```

Then the NDArray traitlet will by default have the klass and some custom metadata.
