Scans all the properties in the parent Properties object and creates arrays for any array property definitions.

<p>Array properties are defined with indexes. For example:

<p><code>property.1=one<br/>
property.2=two<br/>
property.3=three<br/>
</code>

<p>Note that these properties will be stored as the 'empty string' or "" property array.

<p><code>.1=one<br/>
2=two<br/>
</code>
