In preparation for the QMap/QMultiMap split. The previous code
had a workaround for storing multimaps, because the CF classes
actually don't support it: build a dictionary from one key
to a _list_ of values. Stop doing that.
In principle, if QMultiMap support does get added to QVariant
(which it probably should), then a similar workaround could be
readded for QMultiMap support.
[ChangeLog][Important Behavior Changes][QSettings] On Apple platforms,
when using the native format, QSettings is no longer able to handle
QVariantMap values which are actually multimaps. Since the native storage
does not actually support multimaps, QSettings used to flatten and
unflatten the maps. However, with QMap being changed to no longer
allow for equivalent keys, flattening when writing does not make
sense any more (there cannot be equivalent keys, because QMap in Qt 6
is a single-key map). Reading existing settings is supported by having
a key in the map mapping to a QVariantList of values.
Support for QMultiMap may be added back to QVariant and QSettings in a
future version of Qt.
