The proptools functions took an inconsistent variety of
struct and *struct types. Some methods even took a struct
but returned a *struct. Make all the exported methods
take a *struct, with internal helpers for the ones that need
to take a struct.

Property structs can now contain slices of structs and other
non-strings as long as they are tagged with `blueprint:"mutated"`.

Support int64 number instead of int to be more fixed to bit size so
that the underlying arch won't affect overflow cases. Besides,
refection: func (v Value) Int() int64 always cast to int64 no matter the
input is int, int16, int32. Currently we always treat "-" as negative
sign to bind to next value, and "+" as plus operator to add operands
together.
So we allow:
a = 5 + -4 + 5 or a = -4 + 5
But we don't allow:
a = +5 + 4 + -4 since we don't treat "+" as a positive sign, otherwise,
a = 5 + +5 would exist which looks pretty weird. In the future, we may
want fully support number calculator logic eg, "+"/"-" can be
positive/negative sign or operator, and "(" and ")" will be considered
to group expressions with a higher precedence.
int & uint properties within struct keeps unchanged, which is only
allowed when tagged with 'blueprint:mutated'. We only allow *int64
property instead of int64 property within struct since it does't make
sense to do prepending or appending to int64.

Allow property structs to contain anonymous embedded structs and
interfaces. Properties in an anonymous embedded struct or interface are
treated as if they were properties in the embedding struct.
ZeroProperties was setting nested structs to their zero value, even if
they contained an interface that should be recursed into, not replaced
with nil.
The only append semantics for bool that result in a no-op when the zero
value is appended is to OR the two values together, but that is rarely
the desired semantics. Add support for *bool and *string as property
types, where appending a nil pointer is a no-op. For *bool, appending a
non-nil pointer replaces the destination with the value. For *string,
appending a non-nil pointer appends the value.
This also provides a more reliable replacement for
ModuleContext.ContainsProperty, as the build logic can tell that the
property was set, even if it was set by a mutator and not by the
blueprints file, by testing against nil.
[]string already provides these semantics for lists.
Setting a *bool or *string property from a blueprints file is the same
syntax as setting a bool or a string property.
Add tests for CloneProperties, CloneEmptyProperties and ZeroProperties
and fix detected bugs related to nil pointers to structs and interfaces
containing nil pointers to structs.
