Revert "qobject: let object_property_get_str() use new API"

Commit aafb21a0b9 "qobject: let object_property_get_str() use new API"
isn't much of a simplification.  Not worth having
object_property_get_str() differ from the other
object_property_get_FOO().  Revert.

This reverts commit aafb21a0b9cea5fa0fe52e68111bb6bd13837a02.
