It's useful to be able to attach arbitrary data to documents, especially for plugins. This PR adds GObject-like keyed data lists to documents so plugins can add stuff similar to `g_object_get|set_data()`. The first commit adds a simple wrapper to the document module, the second exposes a safe API for plugins.
In the future if GeanyDocument is ever converted to a GObject, the new `document_get|set_data()` functions could become simple wrappers around `g_object_get|set_data()` rather than using keyed data lists directly. Aside from conventional plugins, this will also be useful for planned "filetype plugins" from #1195 and possibly for certain proxy plugin implementations, and could even prove useful in the core. A made a very simple test plugin to tinker with this in https://github.com/codebrainz/geany/commit/b662ba3ca15969429ee2f9cf4c00e84024e499bd.
