Thiago Macieira 46dc8e453a QVariant: use a typedef name when saving user types to QDataStream
Due to the way Qt 5 and 6 registered type names, they end up producing
different type names for the same content for a typedef. For example,
because Q_DECLARE_METATYPE can't manage a comma (it's a macro), users
are forced to write something like:

 using MyTypeMap = QMap<QString, MyType>
 Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(MyTypeMap)

Qt 5's Q_DECLARE_METATYPE's argument "MyTypeMap" was the only name we
knew about the type, so that's what got saved in the stream. However, Qt
6 QtPrivate::typenameHelper is much more clever and obtains the name
from the compiler itself, so it "sees through" the typedef and registers
"QMap<QString,MyType>" as the official type name.

If another library/plugin has a different typedef name for the same type
(e.g., StringTypeMap), it's indeterminate which type gets saved and will
even change from run to run (depends on the QHash order).

[ChangeLog][QtCore][QDataStream] If QDataStream is used with a
QDataStream::Version < Qt_6_0 to serialize a user type that was
registered via a typedef with the metatype system, the typedef's name is
used in the stream instead of the non-typedef name. This restores
compatibility with Qt 5, allowing existing content to read the same
QDataStreams; reading from older Qt 6 versions should not be affected.
(Note: if more than one typedef name is registered, it's indetermine
which name gets used)

Fixes: QTBUG-96916
Pick-to: 6.3 6.2

README

This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on Qt Test. In order
to run the autotests reliably, you need to configure a desktop to match the
test environment that these tests are written for.

Linux X11:

   * The user must be logged in to an active desktop; you can't run the
     autotests without a valid DISPLAY that allows X11 connections.

   * The tests are run against a KDE3 or KDE4 desktop.

   * Window manager uses "click to focus", and not "focus follows mouse". Many
     tests move the mouse cursor around and expect this to not affect focus
     and activation.

   * Disable "click to activate", i.e., when a window is opened, the window
     manager should automatically activate it (give it input focus) and not
     wait for the user to click the window.
