Rename QTimer::connectTo() to QTimer::callOnTimeout()

Some people suggested the later, so let's have a second look at it
before it's too late.

Although I was in favor of the former I'm now having second thoughts.
connectTo() is meant to only be used in classes which have a clear dominant signal,
but there are rare classes that have two (example: QAbstractButton::toggled, QAbstractButton::clicked).
QAbstractButton::connectTo() would be ambiguous if we ever wanted to add these shorthand connects
to QtWidgets
