Rename QMetaMethod::signature() to methodSignature()
In Qt5 the meta-data format will be changed to not store the
method signature string explicitly; the signature will be
reconstructed on demand from the method name and parameter type
information.
The QMetaMethod::signature() method returns a const char pointer.
Changing the return type to QByteArray can lead to silent bugs due to
the implicit conversion to char *. Even though it's a source-
incompatible change, it's therefore better to introduce a new
function, methodSignature(), and remove the old signature().
Task-number: QTBUG-24154
