[PATCH v4 06/14] software node: get rid of property_set_pointer()

[Dmitry Torokhov]

Instead of explicitly setting values of integer types when copying
property entries lets just copy entire value union when processing
non-array values.

When handling array values assign the pointer there using the newly
introduced "raw" pointer union member. This allows us to remove
property_set_pointer().

In property_get_pointer() we do not need to handle each data type
separately, we can simply return either the raw pointer or pointer to
values union.
