Fix a case of connect()ing to signals declared in a base class

Fix connection to pointer to member signal that belongs to the base
class, but whose type is a pointer to a member of the derived class.

The current code only use the QMetaObject of the type coming from the
function type to look up the signal id. But if the signal was casted
to a pointer to member function of a derived type, then we also need to
look in the base classes
