QMetaProperty::typeName: use name from metatype

Except for types marked as unresolved, we're doing it anyway - the only
difference is that now we skip looking up the metatype by typeid.

[ChangeLog][QMetaProperty][Important Behavior Change]
QMetaProperty::typeName returns now always the same name as name() of the
corresponding metatype. This can cause a change for enum properties
which were not fully-qualified.
