signature: Refine the decision heuristics of result tuples

Result tuples do not (yet) get information from XML.
Instead, they fetch their info solely from the embedded
signature strings and information encoded in mapping.py .

When a variable is determined as a result variable, it is
removed from the arg list and normally appended to the
return tuple.

It turned out that a special rule is needed:
A variable that comes first in the variable list should
also be first in the result tuple.

This heuristics should be replaced by more introspection.
Right now, this suffices as a working fix.

Fixes: PYSIDE-1409
