qobject: Use GString instead of QString to accumulate JSON

QString supports modifying its string, but it's quite limited: you can
only append.  The remaining callers use it for building an initial
string, never for modifying it later.

Use of GString for building the initial string is actually more
convenient here.  Change qobject_to_json() & friends to do that.

Once all such uses are replaced this way, QString can become immutable.
