Find out how site builders can add string to the site

Problem/Motivation

The module provide a way for developers to expose their strings via "string" plugin. However even though it is developer friendly (in my perspective), this is not accessible to Drupal Site Builder.

Proposed resolution

Create "string" entities that can be expose the whole CRUD operations and permissions, so that Site Builders can add/edit/delete "string"s.
Make them behave like "string" plugin. This needs further consideration, but looks like we can just merge the data from entities with plugin definitions. Maybe we can namespace the prefix to use "e:" (e for entity).

Remaining tasks

Discuss with senior Drupal developers and figure out a solution to move forward.

User interface changes

Needs a new UI.

API changes

Maybe needed.

Data model changes

New data model for storage needs to be created.
