QVarLengthArray: make reallocation strongly exception safe

The old code had several bugs:

- it immediately clobbered *this with new state, before having copied
  over the elements from the old to the new buffer

- when buffer relocation threw, it would keep the new (partially-filled)
  buffer and throw away the old

- it unconditionally used std::move() for non-relocatable types, making
  it impossible to restore the original buffer when a move throws

Instead of clobbering *this with new state, do all the work on the
side and change *this only once the reallocation has happened
successfully.

Also use q_uninitialized_relocate_n() and unique_ptr in the
implementation to simplify the code. The former got the necessary
update to use std::move_if_noexcept() instead of an unconditional
std::move() for the non-relocatable case.

[ChangeLog][QtCore][QVarLengthArray] The append()-like functions are
now strongly exception safe. This means reallocation will now use
copies instead of moves, unless the value_type has a noexcept move
constructor.
