QVariant: avoid superfluous QMetaType lookup

Constructing a QMetaType from an id requires a lookup which isn't free,
even for builtin types. When constructing a QVariant from an integer,
this leads to a noticeable performance loss.

In the mirco-benchmark of the linked bug, we improve from
100000000 965
to
100000000 789
on Linux, Intel i5-4690, clang 11.01 with a CMake release build.
This however still does not recover the performance we had in Qt 5.
