Implement QMetaType::canConvert() and use it in QVariant

Use the fact that we return the conversion function as a lambda
to find out reliably whether a conversion between two types
can be done.

This requires some minor adjustments to our tests:

* Nothing can convert to an unknown type and vice versa
* Adjust results to the fact that we don't convert from char
  to QString anymore (where the old method was incorrect)
* QStringList->QString requires some adjustments, as we only
  convert if the string list has exactly one element. For now
  we return true in canConvert(), but the conversion behavior
  in this case is something we should rethink, as it is very
  surprising.
