qobjectrace test: Don't hardcode the number of threads

Use QThread::idealThreadCount instead. This requires that we use
QVarLengthArray, as MSVC doesn't allow us to allocate arrays with a
non-constexpr size on the stack.

By using as many threads as the system has cores, we are more likely
to detect race conditions reliably. On systems with fewer cores (in
particular on qemu platforms like QNX, where this test has been
failing a lot), we'll less likely end up with false negatives due
to timeouts.

Pick-to: 6.4 6.3 6.2
