How can I deal with the new string datatype and string arrays when using the C engine and C Matrix API. There does not seem to be any mention of this in the C API docs.

Currently, the C Engine and C MEX do not support the new MATLAB string. As a workaround, a wrapper function can be created for the conversion between char array and string.

You can consider moving to the C++ Engine or C++ MEX in order to work with MATLAB string.
