[PATCH v4 11/14] software node: move small properties inline when copying

[Dmitry Torokhov]

When copying/duplicating set of properties, move smaller properties that
were stored separately directly inside property entry structures. We can
move:

- up to 8 bytes from U8 arrays
- up to 4 words
- up to 2 double words
- one U64 value
- one or 2 strings.
