Give a better score for methods with a convertable type when matching

When it is looking for a matching method based on the argument types,
then if a QVariant can be converted to that type then it should give a
better score for that method. This is so that it can see it as being
more viable a choice when calling the method instead of potentially
not being able to find a matching one.

Pick-to: 5.15
