Currentlys AB3 couldn't handle parameter passing to cmake / autotools / meson for options that contain literal space characters due to <build_type>_AFTER being a single string. As a result bash cannot possibly distinguish a literal space apart from inter-field separators that splits the string into char**. AOSC maintainers usually resort to writing custom build scripts whenever these cases arises... which isn't great for consistency.
This PR adds support to use bash array for values of CMAKE_AFTER, AUTOTOOLS_AFTER and MESON_AFTER. Any options that should contain literal spaces can be specified as following:
CMAKE_AFTER=(
"-DOPTION_NAME=This is a literal sentence"
"-DQUOTED_OPTION=QuotedValue"
-DUNQUOTED_OPTION=Value
)
Existing <build_type>_AFTER as a huge string is still supported.
