QMetaType: Store QMetaObject for pointer to const QObject, too

Before this change, the QMetaType for T const* where T is derived from
QObject would not store the static QMetaObject of T. This commit changes
this. As a consequence, the metatype system can now convert between
const and non-const pointers to QObject. Note that this allows casting
const away; but so does C++ with const_cast.
In addition, a new flag, QMetaType::IsImmutable is introduced, and used
to tag the metatypes of pointer to const types. This allows code to
discern between pointers to mutable and const QObjects, which is
relevant for the QML engine.
