Returns child values as a list-like DValue.

These helpers keep common data-shaping code close to render code, routers, and configuration trees. They are useful for route lists, navigation items, cards, and records that need simple transformations before rendering.

```cpp
DValue menu_items = dv_values(context.cfg["menu"]);
```

Prefer these helpers over open-coded loops when the transformation itself is the important part of the code. Use an explicit loop when mutation, error handling, or side effects are the main concern.
