Because property_copy_string_array() stores the newly allocated pointer in the destination property, we have an awkward code in property_entry_copy_data() where we fetch the new pointer from dst. Let's change property_copy_string_array() to return pointer and rely on the common path in property_entry_copy_data() to store it in destination structure.
