moc: remove the attempt to create one large string literal

Commit dda9c9e2bc4fd2efe9e3fb0e451a8c3512f9a4d2 fixed some outstanding
issues with moc's calculation of the maximum string length, but it
missed one. This commit instead opts to remove the calculation entirely
and instead have multiple char array members in the qt_meta_stringdata.
We needed a single string back in Qt 4.0 when the stringdata *was* a
single char array.

Since 5.0, we've used a structure with multiple members and pointer
arithmetic going past the end of the arrays, from the top of the object.
That's UB, but since it's always been UB and can't be fixed until Qt 7
anyway, let's go full monty on it and have one char array per meta
object string.

The struct qt_meta_stringdata_Qt_t for namespace Qt now has 1217
stringdataXXX members.
