Deprecate passing strings to non-string options
Currently Meson allow the following (Muon does not):
```meson
option('foo', type : 'boolean', value : 'true')
option('bar', type : 'integer', value : '42')
```
This is possibly a holdover from very old code, but it's a bad idea and
we should stop doing it. This deprecation is the first stop on that
journey.
