QVarLengthArray: Add initializer_list constructor

Implement an initializer_list constructor, which was probably
just forgotten so far. Technically this is a SC incompatible change,
since

  QVarLengthArray<int> array = {10};

will now create an array with one element 10, instead of an empty array
with a reserved size of 10. Anyhow, keeping the inconsistency with the
STL / other Qt containers here would certainly do more harm than good
in the long run.
