Kent Hansen 74c3517e6a Fix regression in connectNotify(const char *) emission
Reimplementations of connectNotify() and disconnectNotify() can
assume that the signal argument is in normalized form, but after the
introduction of the Qt5 meta-object format, it could happen that it's
not.

The problem is that the internal QArgumentType class, which attempts
to resolve a typename to a type id, was calling QMetaType::type().
QMetaType::type() falls back to trying the normalized form of the
typename if the original argument can't be resolved as a type (this
behavior isn't documented, but that's how it works). This means that
e.g. QMetaType::type("const QString &") returns QMetaType::QString.

Since QMetaObjectPrivate::indexOfMethodRelative() (more specifically,
the methodMatch() helper function) prefers to compare type ids
over typenames (since the type ids are stored directly in the meta-
object data for built-in types), the method lookup would *succeed*
for signatures with non-normalized built-in typenames as parameters.
QObject::connect() would then think that it did not have to
normalize the signature (see "// check for normalized signatures").
The consequence was that the original, non-normalized form got
passed to connectNotify().

This commit introduces an internal typename-to-type function that
is the same as QMetaType::type(), except it doesn't try to normalize
the name. This way, the only place where normalization can occur in
the signature-to-meta-method processing is through the calls to
QMetaObject::normalizedSignature() in QObject::connect() itself.

The implication is that there are now cases where the method
signature will be decoded and processed twice, where processing it
once was sufficient before. On the other hand, it is consistent with
the pre-Qt5-meta-object behavior, where we predict that the
signature is already normalized, and only perform (comparatively
costly) normalization if the initial lookup fails.

This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on QTestlib. 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.
