efficient storage with named access, can specify compare, alloc, free
and other operations for even better management.
no changelog/news as this is under eina_value, all new for 1.2 release.

Similar to list and array, but takes string keys instead of position.
It can convert to string, I've added tests for it, but hash algorithm
changes may break the simple comparison I did... and I don't want to
parse the string to be more accurate.

Similar to array, but less efficient as uses list nodes. If possible
values are stored on list->data itself, otherwise they are allocated
and the pointer goes as list->data.

Should be more portable and work with C++.
NOTE: I still see an aliasing break in eina_value_pset, but wasn't
able to figure how to solve it.

eina value is a generic value storage, it's quite efficient to space
(16 bytes) and speed (inlines for basic types).
It's basically a structure describing how to manage memory
(Eina_Value_Type), with default implementation for char, short, int,
long, int64_t (and unsigned variants), float, double, stringshare and
string.
If a type 'value_size' is smaller than 8 bytes, it's stored
inline. Otherwise a value is allocated and managed.
Most of the methods are inline, with special handling for char, short,
int... Then no extra calls are made, allowing the compiler to optimize
them.
For array of a single type it is recommend to use Eina_Value_Array, as
it will efficiently store and access members (just a char if subtype
is EINA_VALUE_TYPE_CHAR, etc).
It can copy itself, compare itself. Including arrays.
It would be nice to have something that converts between EET and this.
