Add support for unregistering of custom meta types.

This patch addresses a specific Qml problem, where the meta types list
will grow indefinitely when unloading and reloading Qml components over
and over (in an failed effort to save memory).

The implementation is not specific to Qml though, but will cater to all
use-cases where registered types may not live until the application's
termination.

Similar to QMetaType::type(), but only looks in the custom set of
types, and doesn't lock the mutex.
The extra \a firstInvalidIndex parameter is an easy way to avoid
iterating over customTypes() a second time in registerNormalizedType().
