These two conversion functions should just be deprecated, as they are not expecially useful. `toPropertyMap` is only used (an no longer will be after D19088 <https://phabricator.kde.org/D19088>) inside baloo as a temporary for the Json conversion, and `toVariantMap` is completely unused.

This is wrong. **How** it is stored is internal to the map implementation, but in general keys and values are stored independently. The typedef itself documents everything there is to know.
