object: fix OBJ_PROP_LINK_UNREF_ON_RELEASE ambivalence

A link property can be set during creation, with
object_property_add_link() and later with object_property_set_link().

add_link() doesn't add a reference to the target object, while
set_link() does.

Furthemore, OBJ_PROP_LINK_UNREF_ON_RELEASE flags, set during add_link,
says whether a reference must be released when the property is destroyed.
This can lead to leaks if the property was later set_link(), as the
added reference is never released.

Instead, rename OBJ_PROP_LINK_UNREF_ON_RELEASE to OBJ_PROP_LINK_STRONG
and use that has an indication on how the link handle reference
management in set_link().
