Add QMetaType::type(QByteArray) function

QMetaType::type(const char *) requires that the string argument is
0-terminated. This new overload makes it possible to query the type
of a string with an explicit length.

In particular, QByteArrays constructed by QByteArray::fromRawData(),
for example from a substring of a normalized method signature (the
"int" part of "mySlot(int"), can now be queried without making a copy
of the string.

Also, Qt5 meta-objects represent type names as QByteArray literals,
which can be fed directly to this new QMetaType::type() overload (no
need to call strlen).
