**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe
what you are trying to do.**
Creating a `VariantArray` from a collection of `Variant` values currently
requires a fair amount of boilerplate when the intent is simply to convert an
iterable of `Variant` values into a `VariantArray`
```rs
fn foo() {
let mut b = VariantArrayBuilder::new();
for v in variants {
b.append_variant(v);
}
}
```
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Implementing a `From<Impl IntoIterator<Item = Variant>>` for `VariantArray`
would simplify this process and make the API more ergonomic
**Additional context**
This feature is motivated by
