1. [Target] Improve string interpretation in Target creation …

   - SplitString now preserves escape sequences, but still observes
     quote characters.
   - Added function Interpret that transforms given string according
     to interpretation rules:
     - outermost quotes are removed (if present),
     - escape sequences inside quotes are preserved verbatim,
     - unquoted escape sequences produce the escaped character (the
       escape character (\) is removed.
   - Interpretation happens every time a value of any type is to be
     parsed from a string, e.g. Array<String> will first be parsed
     as an array, then substrings of the input will be parsed as
     individual elements of that array. In this case, some parts of
     the initial input will be parsed (and interpreted) twice.
   - Implement corresponding stringification functionality.
   
   This new scheme enabled encoding nested arrays of string with any
   degree of nesting. For example
     "-field='\\'foo0\\',\\'bar0,bar1\\'','\\'zing0,zing1\\',\\'fred\\''"
   would correspond to the target kind attribute
     Array<Array<Array<String>>>("field"))
   and have the value
    { { {foo0}, {bar0, bar1} }, { {zing0, zing1}, {fred} } }
