When parsing CSS, a border-color value is parsed as four brushes, as css
allows assigning up to four values, one for each side.
When applying the CSS to the HTML, we accessed it as a color value,
which overwrote the parsed value with a QColor. So while we had a valid
parsed value (and didn't re-parse), the code accessing that value still
expected it to be a list, and thus failed to retrieve the data.
There are several ways to fix that, but the cleanest way without
introducing any performance penalty from repeatedly parsing (and in fact
removing a parse of the string into a color) is to enable colorValue to
interpret an already parsed value that is a list without overwriting the
parsed value again. To avoid similar issues in the future, add assert
that the parsed value has the right type in brushValues.
As a drive-by, speed things up further by making use of qMetaTypeId
being constexpr, which allows for it to be used in a switch statement.
Add a test case.
