moc: generate the uint data using the new constexpr functions

We needed to go through two levels of indirection to generate it for
classes. First, it needs to be inside the context of the class or
namespace in question, hence the need for a qt_create_metaobjectdata()
member function. This is necessary because moc does not know what
context some property types are, like "Error": they may be a nested type
in the class or local to this namespace. Doing this also gains us access
to everything the class has access to. (The metatype array avoided this
problem by declaring the types as template parameters in the context of
the staticMetaObject, so it transitively gained the same access we now
do)

Second, because the class itself may be private, we need a way to call
the function we've just defined without naming it, so we insert a
template friend in Q_OBJECT & Q_GADGET, which we can define in the moc
output. We multiplex it using the 1:1 association with the token type
that moc already defines.

The member function is a template so no compiler will attempt to export
it. Moreover, our specialization is keyed to a type in an unnamed
namespace.

The changes to tst_QVariant are temporary, because it is abusing the
Q_ENUM marker on a 64-bit enumeration.
