Speed up arrayToQPath when connect='pairs'

As discussed earlier, the process of QDataStream >> QPainterPath is
quite slow, so this commit makes an improvement on QPainterPath creation
for the case of connect='pairs' by using a naive method of moving the
path and drawing a line on the path.  This was the fastest method
identified during testing.
