* [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.

* Cleanup indentation in new lightgbm_R.cpp code

* Adress review code-style comments.

* Update swig/StringArray.hpp

* Add handling of RandomState object, which is standard for sklearn methods.

LightGBM expects an integer seed instead of an object.
If passed object is RandomState, we choose random integer based on its state to seed the underlying low level code.
While chosen random integer is only in the range between 1 and 1e10 I expect it to have enough entropy (?) to not matter in practice.

* Add RandomState object to random_state docstring.

* remove blank line

* Use property to handle setting random_state.
This enables setting cloned estimators with the set_params method in sklearn.

* Add docstring to attribute.

* Fix and simplify docstring.

* Add test case.

* Use maximal int for datatype in seed derivation.

* Replace random_state property with interfacing in fit method.
Derives int seed for C code only when fitting and keeps RandomState object as param.

* Adapt unit test to property change.

* Extended test case and docstring

* Add more equality checks (feature importance, best iteration/score).

* Add equality comparison of boosters represented by strings.
Remove useless best_iteration_ comparison (we do not use early_stopping).

* fix whitespace

* Test if two subsequent fits produce different models

* Apply suggestions from code review

Otherwise, it would print `basic.py:762: UserWarning: categorical_feature in param dict is overridden.`. Because when updating the params for a validation test, the updated params for the train test was used which contains `'categorical_column'`.
