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.
