Niels De Graef 8eb7f6df9e Remove GimpStringArray in favor of GStrv
GLib has a specific type of NULL-terminated string arrays:
`G_TYPE_STRV`, which is the `GType` of `char**` aka `GStrv`.

By using this type, we can avoid having a `GimpStringArray` which is a
bit cumbersome to use for both the C API, as well as bindings. By using
`GStrv`, we allow other languages to pass on string lists as they are
used to, while the bindings will make sure to do the right thing.

In the end, it makes the API a little bit simpler for everyone, and
reduces confusion for people who are used to working with string arrays
in other C/GLib based code (and not having 2 different types to denote
the same thing).
