VERSION: bump version number to 3.5.0alpha0
scratch-buffers: Support any number of stacks

Instead of being tied to GStrings only, support registering new kinds
of stacks, which will be automatiaclly free'd on thread shutdown. For
convenience, wrappers are provided for GString-based scratch buffer
acquire and release, and that stack is automatically registered and
free'd by the library itself.

This fixes #2.

value-pairs: Type hinting support

This implements very basic support for type hinting template strings,
where those hints will be available to value-pairs too, allowing any
user of either LogTemplate or value-pairs to handle different types of
values than plain strings. How they handle it, is up to the callers,
this patch just lays the groundwork that makes it possible to pass
these hints around.

Furthermore, this includes support for the on-error() statement, which
tells drivers how type-casting failures shall be handled: they can
either drop the message, drop the property, or fall back to string;
and can do either of these either verbosely, logging the fact, or
silently.

This fixes #4 and #5.

afmongodb: Add support for acting on type hints

Since we have type hints, we should use them. This patch adds support
for all the type hints known so far (except for default, which is
special), along with support for the on-error() setting.

This fixes one part of #6.

format-json: Support acting on type hints

With this patch, $(format-json) becomes able to act on type hints, and
store ints as ints and so on and so forth. Forthermore, the on-error()
setting is implemented for format-json aswell.

Together with the afmongodb patch, this fixes #6.
