ifcfg: complete shvar API with svGetValue_cp() and svGetValueStr()

Add svGetValue_cp() and svGetValueStr() for completeness.

Currently, we mostly use svGetValueStr_cp(), which I think is wrong
because for most cases we should instead not ignore empty values -- that
is, svGetValue_cp() would be a better choice.

Also, I think that the non *_cp() API should be preferred in many cases
because it avoids cloning the value in many cases. The API is not
necessarily less favorable either:

    gs_free char *value = NULL;

    value = svGetValue_cp (s, key);
    if (value)
        ...

vs.

    gs_free char *value_to_free = NULL;
    const char *value;

    value = svGetValue (s, key, &value_to_free);
    if (value)
        ...

Add the two missing variants, so that future code can use what fits
best, not following undesired practices because seemingly there is
no alternative.
