THRIFT-3178: c_glib does not compile
These changes allow Hypertable's Thrift interface to be compiled by the C
(GLib) compiler by correcting the way the compiler handles "compound" and
typedef'd list types. The changes include
- Adding test cases for list-of-string-list containers (variables of type
list<list<string>>) returned by service methods, both aliased with a typedef
and not;
- Modifying the compiler to
- Initialize list variables (pointer arrays) in the generated code before
they are used,
- Correctly identify the type of typedef'd list elements and
- Omit the dereference operator ("*") in typedef'd types to match the way
they would naturally be used in client code.
The final commit refactors the test cases to put common code related to
creating a service client in its own function.

c_glib: Add unit test for lists of string lists
Adds a unit test that covers lists of lists of strings returned
from service methods.

c_glib: Compiler: Create list variables before use
With this change generated code will create list (i.e. g_ptr_array)
variables before using them. This prevents an assertion failure
when deserializing a list from a service-method response.

c_glib: Add unit test for typedef'd lists of string lists
Adds a service-handler method and unit test that duplicates the
existing test for lists of string lists returned from service
methods, but adds the use of typedef'd types.

c_glib: Compiler: Correctly handle typedef'd list types
With this change the compiler will emit code that correctly handles
typedef'd list types returned from service methods. The specific
changes are
- Omit the dereference operator ("*") from container type names
output in typedef statements, to allow the type to be used as
a programmer would expect in client code; and
- Determine the underlying type of a list's typedef'd elements when
generating code to serialize those elements.

c_glib: testcontainertest.c: Factor out common code
Add a helper method that executes a test case against a newly
constructed service client, then refactor the test methods to use
this helper.
