ENH: Add retrieval and queries to Extern C interface

Summary

See https://gitlab.indiscale.com/caosdb/customers/lfpb/management/-/issues/411. Extends the Extern C interface by retrieving single and multiple entities and executing queries.

Focus

There is a lot of repetitive new code for create, delete, set, and get functions in ccaosdb.cpp. Some aspects of the c++ objects of Entities, Parents, and Propeties had to be changed in order to comply with the C interface, mainly because of memory management.

The most important new parts is that entities, transactions, properties and parents can now be created and deleted via the C interface, and that their properties can be set and gotten.

Test Environment

In principle, unit tests should be sufficient. Check whether you are content with the extent of the tests. Queries and retrievals are checked in the integration tests.
