Subject: Add string_set buildfile value type

This exposes the std::set<std::string> type to buildfiles.

New functions:

  $size(<string-set>)

Subscript returns true if the value is present and false otherwise (so
it is mapped to std::set::contains()). For example:

set = [string_set] a b c

if ($set[b])
  ...

Note that append (+=) and prepend (=+) have the same semantics
(std::set::insert()). For example:

set = [string_set] a b
set += c b              # a b c
set =+ d b              # a b c d

Example of iteration:

set = [string_set] a b c
for k: $set
  ...
