It's useful to be able to attach arbitrary data to documents, especially for plugins. This PR adds GObject-like keyed data lists to documents so plugins can add stuff similar to g_object_get|set_data(). The first commit adds a simple wrapper to the document module, the second exposes a safe API for plugins.

In the future if GeanyDocument is ever converted to a GObject, the new document_get|set_data() functions could become simple wrappers around g_object_get|set_data() rather than using keyed data lists directly.

Aside from conventional plugins, this will also be useful for planned "filetype plugins" from #1195 and possibly for certain proxy plugin implementations, and could even prove useful in the core.

A made a very simple test plugin to tinker with this in codebrainz@b662ba3.
