> Fix memory leaks by making `AddOption` unconditionally duplicate passed in strings, taking ownership. Callers using dynamic memory free their storage after calling `AddOption`. This ensures no memory is dropped on the floor. This also removes the second argument to `AddOption` as it is unused and shifts it into the source file.
Switched to maintaining a separate list of allocated strings instead of always duplicating strings. `AddOptions` does not take ownership of the underlying string. `AddAllocatedOptions` is `AddOptions` but the given string is freed later after the the JVM has been initialized.
