qdict: Extract non-QDicts in qdict_array_split()

Currently, qdict_array_split() only splits off entries with a key prefix
of "%u.", packing them into a new QDict. This patch makes it support
entries with the plain key "%u" as well, directly putting them into the
new QList without creating a QDict.

If there is both an entry with a key of "%u" and other entries with keys
prefixed "%u." (for the same index), the function simply terminates.

To do this, this patch also adds a static function which tests whether a
given QDict contains any keys with the given prefix. This is used to test
whether entries with a key prefixed "%u." do exist in the source QDict
without modifying it.

 /**
  * qdict_array_split(): This function moves array-like elements of a QDict into
- * a new QList of QDicts. Every entry in the original QDict with a key prefixed
- * "%u.", where %u designates an unsigned integer starting at 0 and
+ * a new QList. Every entry in the original QDict with a key "%u" or one
+ * prefixed "%u.", where %u designates an unsigned integer starting at 0 and
  * incrementally counting up, will be moved to a new QDict at index %u in the
- * output QList with the key prefix removed. The function terminates when there
- * is no entry in the QDict with a prefix directly (incrementally) following the
- * last one.
- * Example: {"0.a": 42, "0.b": 23, "1.x": 0, "3.y": 1, "o.o": 7}
- *      (or {"1.x": 0, "3.y": 1, "0.a": 42, "o.o": 7, "0.b": 23})
- *       => [{"a": 42, "b": 23}, {"x": 0}]

+ * output QList with the key prefix removed, if that prefix is "%u.". If the
+ * whole key is just "%u", the whole QObject will be moved unchanged without
+ * creating a new QDict. The function terminates when there is no entry in the
+ * QDict with a prefix directly (incrementally) following the last one; it also
+ * returns if there are both entries with "%u" and "%u." for the same index %u.
+ * Example: {"0.a": 42, "0.b": 23, "1.x": 0, "4.y": 1, "o.o": 7, "2": 66}
