QVariant: ensure the type custom is registered on construction

I must have broken this in the 6.5 work I did for QMetaType and
QVariant, but I haven't searched which commit exactly did it. Our
QVariant tests are old and thus only checked the type ID, which meant
that they caused the registration by the act of asking for the ID in the
first place; this commit adds a couple of explicit checks for the type
registered by name before the ID.

Fixes: QTBUG-112205
Pick-to: 6.5 6.5.0
Change-Id: Idd5e1bb52be047d7b4fffffd174f1b14d90fd7a3
