Introduce QMetaType::UnknownType.
QMetaType::Void was ambiguous, it was pointing to a valid type (void)
and in the same time it was signaling errors in QMetaType. There was
no clean way to check if returned type was valid void or some
unregistered type.
This feature will be used by new QMetaObject revision which will
store type ids instead of type names. So it will be easy to
distinguish between:
void mySlot();
MyUnregisteredType mySlot();
