Core: Don't rely on splice being present on input

Without this fix calling `jQuery.uniqueSort` on an array-like can result in:

TypeError: results.splice is not a function
    at Function.jQuery.uniqueSort (https://code.jquery.com/jquery-git.js:664:12)
    at jQuery.fn.init.find (https://code.jquery.com/jquery-git.js:2394:27)
    at gocusihafe.js:3:4

Closes gh-4986
