* [swig] Fix SWIG methods that return char** with StringArray.

+ [new] Add StringArray class to manage and manipulate arrays of fixed-length strings:

  This class is now used to wrap any char** parameters, manage memory and
  manipulate the strings.

  Such class is defined at swig/StringArray.hpp and wrapped in StringArray.i.

+ [API+fix] Wrap LGBM_BoosterGetFeatureNames it resulted in segfault before:

  Added wrapper LGBM_BoosterGetFeatureNamesSWIG(BoosterHandle) that
  only receives the booster handle and figures how much memory to allocate
  for strings and returns a StringArray which can be easily converted to String[].

+ [API+safety] For consistency, LGBM_BoosterGetEvalNamesSWIG was wrapped as well:

  * Refactor to detect any kind of errors and removed all the parameters
    besides the BoosterHandle (much simpler API to use in Java).
  * No assumptions are made about the required string space necessary (128 before).
  * The amount of required string memory is computed internally

+ [safety] No possibility of undefined behaviour

  The two methods wrapped above now compute the necessary string storage space
  prior to allocation, as the low-level C API calls would crash the process
  irreversibly if they write more memory than which is passed to them.

* Changes to C API and wrappers support char**

To support the latest SWIG changes that enable proper char**
return support that is safe, the C API was changed.

The respecive wrappers in R and Python were changed too.
