This commit introduces constants for the different plist formats,
and adds 3 new human-readable output-only formats:
- PLIST_FORMAT_PRINT: the default human-readable format
- PLIST_FORMAT_LIMD: "libimobiledevice" format (used in ideviceinfo)
- PLIST_FORMAT_PLUTIL: plutil-style format

Also, a new set of write functions has been added:
- plist_write_to_string
- plist_write_to_stream
- plist_write_to_file

Plus a simple "dump" function:
- plist_print

See documentation for details.

[clang-tidy] Remove pointless const

The const is actually misplaced. const plist_t evaluates to void *const
instead of const void *. const qualification of the former makes no
sense in function declarations.

Change internal storage of PLIST_DATE values from struct timeval to double

This removes the timeval union member from the plist_data_t structure.
Since struct timeval is 2x64bit on 64bit platforms this member unnecessarily
grew the union size to 16 bytes while a size of 8 bytes is sufficient.
Also, on 32bit platforms struct timeval is only 2x32bit of size, limiting the
range of possible time values. In addition the binary property list format
also stores PLIST_DATE nodes as double.
