[RFC] [WIP] use bash arrays for some template fields
this will allow select variables to be defined as arrays or strings. if a string is specified, it will be converted to an array for internal usage. if it is an array, it passes through untouched. this should allow for a smooth transition to using more arrays inside xbps-src, and should solve issues with shell quoting in things like configure_args, make_check_args, etc.

to start, I've only done this with configure_args, and fixed *some* templates

would like to get some feedback before continuing, as this will be a fairly massive undertaking. what fields would be valuable as arrays? (I'm thinking mostly the `*_args` variables) should the internal string -> array conversion happen or should we just go all-in?
