Remove QJSEngine::newVariant() function

Rationale: This is a remnant from QtScript. There is no reason one
should be able to explicitly wrap an arbitrary C++ type in a
QVariant. toScriptValue() will automatically wrap the type in a
QVariant if it's a type that's not specifically handled by the
meta-type system, or if it can't usefully/losslessly be converted to
a native JavaScript type.
