Introduce formal policy for APIs that return strings.
This declares that any `const char *` returned from SDL is owned by SDL, and promises to be valid _at least_ until the next time the event queue runs, or SDL_Quit() is called, even if the thing that owns the string gets destroyed or changed before then. This is noted in the headers as "the SDL_GetStringRule", so this will both be greppable to find a detailed explaination in docs/README-strings.md and wikiheaders will automatically turn it into a link we can point at the appropriate documentation. Fixes #9902. (and several FIXMEs, both known and yet-undocumented.)
