Q(Static)ByteArrayMatcher: manage indexIn() overloads

Unlike QString and QStringView, QByteArrayView and QByteArray don't
overload well.

Solve the overload issue the usual way: by making the QByteArray one a
Q_WEAK_OVERLOAD. This is trivial for QStaticByteArrayMatcher, which
isn't exported, but require QT_REMOVED_SINCE magic for
QByteArrayMatcher, which is.

The additional const char* overload has shielded us from the worst
fall-out so far, it seems, but it makes for a truly horrible overload
set:

    matcher.indexIn(str, 3);

Q: Is the 3 here the length of the haystack or the value of the from
parameter?

A: It depends on decltype(str)!

If the (const char*, qsizetype, qsizetype=0) overload is the better
match, then 3 limits the haystack's length.

If, otoh, the (QByteArray(View), qsizetype) overload is the better
match, then it's the value of the from parameter.

As if this wasn't bad enough, QByteArray implcitly converts to const
char* by default!

A follow-up patch will therefore deprecate the (ptr, size) overloads,
so we de-inline the QByteArrayView ones to avoid having to touch the
implementation once more.

Found during 6.3 API review.

Pick-to: 6.3
