QObject: add setProperty() overload taking rvalue QVariant

Instead of duplicating the long-ish implementation, simply pass the
variant as pointers to const and mutable, and implement a runtime
version of std::forward.

[ChangeLog][QtCore][QObject] Added setProperty() overload taking an
rvalue QVariant.

Fixes: QTBUG-113281
Task-number: QTBUG-112762
