QVariant: Change metatype in convert() even on failure

The documentation of convert promised that “If the cast cannot be
done, the variant is still changed to the requested type”. This was not
the case so far, because we returned too early if canConvert returned
false.
This commit changes the behavior of the method to reflect its
documentation. The documented behavior seems more useful than the
alternative of not changing the metaType, at least for common use cases
inside qtdeclarative.
