QVersionNumber: de-inline QList constructor calls and resize()

The QList<int> range ctor and other QList<int> methods have percolated
up near the top of the list of Clang -ftime-trace most expensive
template instantiations in PCH libQt6Gui.so builds:

**** Templates that took longest to instantiate:
  [...]
  5138 ms: QList<int>::QList<const int *, true> (256 times, avg 20 ms)
  4327 ms: QtPrivate::QCommonArrayOps<int>::appendIteratorRange<const int *> (256 times, avg 16 ms)

The code in 6.3 is already sufficiently different for this patch to
not be applicable there.
