qbs-config: Understand JavaScript for all types.

The current code understands JS maps, but not lists of maps etc, which
is certainly unexpected. So allow JS literals for all types.
Additionally, simple sequences of characters are still interpreted as
strings, so users are not forced to quote in the common case.
