QMetaObjectBuilder: replace inefficient QLists with QVector

The QMeta*Private classes are larger than a void*, and weren't
marked as movable, so QList<QMeta*Private> is horribly inefficient.

Fix by holding them in QVector instead. Saves ~900B in text size
on GCC 4.9 optimized C++11 AMD64 Linux builds, and tons of memory
allocations.
