QLocalSocket - deprecate ambiguous 'error' overloads

QLocalSocket::error is overloaded as a signal and an accessor (for the
error reported by the signal). This means connecting to the signal using
a pointer to member function would require ambiguity resolution. We
deprecate the old accessor (to be removed in Qt 6) and introduce a new one -
'socketError'.

[ChangeLog][Deprecation Notice] QLocalSocket::error() (the getter) is deprecated; superseded by socketError().
