Adds ShibokenGenerator::buildAbstractMetaTypeFromString.

This method tries to build an AbstractMetaType from a string, it is
used by guessCPythonCheckFunction to better handle type replacements
identifying types already known by the type database for the currently
generated, instead of treating said replacements as mere blobs.
