librc: mark stringlist functions as mallocs
This gives a hint to the compiler that allocations (return values)
from this function should be paired with a corresponding dealloc/free
function
In this case, it means that every rc_stringlist that rc_stringlist_new()
returns should eventually be freed by calling rc_stringlist_free(ptr)
where ptr is the relevant rc_stringlist.
We have to add a test for this into the build system
because only GCC supports this for now. In future, we might
be able to use meson's has_function_attribute (it does support
'malloc', just not AFAICT 'malloc with arguments').
