[YANGTOOLS-231] Make arrays non-mutable

Blocks — Sun, 10 Apr 2022 18:35:12 +0000

All simple arrays are stored as they are, making it a security risk:

Returning a reference to a mutable object value stored in one of the object's fields exposes the internal representation of the object. If instances are accessed by untrusted code, and unchecked changes to the mutable object would compromise security or other important properties, you will need to do something different. Returning a new copy of the object is better approach in many situations.
