Fix crashes and non-portable functionality in QDBusDemarshaller QByteArray extraction

QDBusArgument QByteArray extraction operator and QDBusDemarshaller that
implements the extraction do not check the type of the extracted value.
When extracting a QByteArray when the value actually is e.g. a struct of
mixed types the byte array extraction will crash as it attempts to extract
the struct data as a fixed array.

The fix adds DBus type checks to QDBusArgument byte array extraction
operator implementations.
The checks invalidate extracting arrays of other types than bytes to a
QByteArray that worked with the unchecked implementation. The rationale
for this restriction is
1) extracting a QByteArray to a variant checks already that the array
   element type is byte
2) Results of extracting arrays of types wider than a byte to a QByteArray
   are architecture-dependent making such code inherently non-portable.
