shiboken: Streamline type parsing

Extract a static AbstractMetaType *AbstractMetaBuilder::translateType()
method from the existing AbstractMetaBuilderPrivate::translateType()
which can be passed the current class.
Internally, add a AbstractMetaBuilderPrivate::translateTypeStatic()
method that takes AbstractMetaBuilderPrivate parameter.

Use that in conjunction with the TypeParse code to remove
the type parsing code in
ShibokenGenerator::buildAbstractMetaTypeFromString().
