Moc: remove STRINGDATA fallback code

If QT_MOC_HAS_STRINGDATA isn't defined, just put an '#error' directive
in the generated code.

Since the proposal of doing ±4 versions of tool compatibility hasn't
been adopted, just remove the fallback string code. Requested by Thiago
in code review.

Drive-by changes:
- Use "STRINGDATA" in comments too
- Remove a now unused static helper
