QMetaEnum: avoid quadratic behavior in valueToKeys()
QByteArray (thankfully) doesn't have the prepend "optimization", so
prepend() is a linear operation, calling it in a loop thus makes the
algorithm quadratic.
To fix, simply remember the parts in a QVLA (an upper bound on the
size of which is easily calculated) and then build the result by
reverse-iterating over the QVLA.
This join_reversed() function is possibly useful elsewhere, but I left
it locally in the unnamed namespace to ease cherry-picking.
The new stringDataView() function is more universally useful, too, and
will be used in a subsequent other change. It return QL1S instead of
QByteArrayView because the latter is scheduled to become a non-string
type, and already lacks certain features (e.g. qTokenize() doesn't
work on QBA, due to lack of a Qt::CaseSensitivity argument in
QBA::indexOf()). It's also a Qt 6 addition, so not available in
5.15. We can revisit this decision later, when QBAV (or, possibly,
QU8SV) has caught up.
