This is actually one of the ugliest parts of string_list, IMHO, and I'd
prefer if we can avoid duplicating it. Yes, sometimes we can manage to
avoid an extra copy of a string. But the resulting ownership and
lifetime questions are often very error-prone. In other data structures
we've moved towards just having the structure own its data (e.g.,
strvec does so, and things like oidmap store their own oids). I've been
happy with the simplicity of it.

It also works if you use a flex-array for the key storage in the
strmap_entry. :)
