[PATCH 4/6] virjson: Deflatten arrays generated by the json->commandline generator

[Peter Krempa <pkrempa@xxxxxxxxxx>]

For the few instances where we'd generate an array in dotted syntax we
should be able to parse it back. Add another step in deflattening of the
dotted syntax which reconstructs the arrays so that the backing store
parser can parse it.
