e21ab81ce0 gvalue: Do copy non-interned strings
The G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS for strings can only be used when collecting them
and not when copying them.

Instead only avoid copies for strings that are interned.

Fixes #2141

1a95ce84ed GValue: Add interned string support
This adds support to be able to explicitely stored interned strings into
G_TYPE_STRING GValue.

This is useful for cases where the user:
* *knows* the string to be stored in the GValue is canonical
* Wants to know whther the string stored is canonical

This allows:
* zero-cost GValue copy (the content is guaranteed to be unique and exist
  throughout the process life)
* zero-cost string equality checks (if both string GValue are interned, you just
  need to check the pointers for equality or not, instead of doing a strcmp).

Fixes #2109

4b2d92a864 Allow passing unset GValues to g_value_unset()
This makes it more useful as an autocleanup func.

Also, add a minimal test of g_value_init/g_value_reset/g_value_unset.
