Change list to vector for outline helpers (fixes #297)

This change works around STL problems with Embarcadero C++ Builder version 10.2, but std::vector is more common than std::list in qpdf, and this is a relatively new API, so an API change is tolerable. Thanks to Thorsten Schöning <6223655+ams-tschoening@users.noreply.github.com> for the fix.

+	* Non-compatible API change: change
+	QPDFOutlineDocumentHelper::getTopLevelOutlines and
+	QPDFOutlineObjectHelper::getKids to return a std::vector instead
+	of a std::list of QPDFOutlineObjectHelper objects. This is to work
+	around bugs with some compilers' STL implementations that are
+	choking with list here. There's no deep reason for these to be
+	lists instead of vectors. Fixes #297.
