ENH: Add datatypes and value classes to Extern C interface

Summary

See https://gitlab.indiscale.com/caosdb/customers/lfpb/management/-/issues/420. Adapts the

Focus

The single get_value functions are now split up into get_<datatype>_value, get_value_list_length, and get_<datatype>_list_value_at functions. Also, importances, roles, and datatypes are now cast from string to enums and back for getting and setting. In the case of datatypes, two additional Booleans for is_reference and is_list.

In addition, the way memory si allocated in case of char pointers has been fixed.

Test Environment

Unit tests and integration tests should be sufficient. Integration testing with deploy in f-grpc and server in f-grpc-f-consolidation, as usual.
