Store the is-a QObject fact with the metatype declaration.

This is a source incompatible change for Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(T*),
which now requires T to be fully defined.

The consequences of this are:
 * Forward declared types can no longer be declared as a metatype.
     (though this is a very uncommon thing to do).

There is a trivial workaround where necessary.
