Improve warning messages (and readability) of connectSlotsByName()

While adding a test case for the new behavior, two issues
with the connectSlotsByName implementation came up:

  1. for auto-connected slots that don't exactly match a signal,
     a 'compatible' one is searched. There might be more than
     one of those. The implementation randomly picks any.
  2. The "No matching signal for %s" warning gets printed even for
     slots that can never be connected via connectSlotsMyName
     anyway (e.g. "on_something"). This is inconsistent.

This fixed both: an explicit warning is printed if more than one
'compatible' signal is found and the "No matching signal for %s"
warning is only printed if the slot adheres to the full
"on_child_signal()" naming convention.

In the process I added comments and changed the code slightly to
make it more readable and explicitly hint at non-obvious behavior.
