QVariant: fix HasIsNullMethod for final classes
HasIsNullMethod uses the accepted C++98 idiom to
check for members that might be inherited from
baseclasses.
The technique, however, requires inheriting from
the type-under-test, which fails for C++11 final
classes.
Fortunately, under C++11 we have much better
support for static type introspection: sfinae
for expressions. We use this here (see decltype()
use in qvariant_p.h) to write a C++11 version of
HasIsNullMethod that works with final classes, too.
However, since this technique required decltype()
support in the compiler, Q_DECL_FINAL can no longer
be used for both method and class markup. So we
declare a new Q_DECL_FINAL_CLASS which is only
set iff the compiler supports decltype(), too.
MSVC 2005 and 2008 support a non-standard, but
sufficiently compatible, version of override/final,
but no decltype(). A later patch will use MSVC
'override/'sealed' to implement Q_DECL_{OVERRIDE,FINAL}
for these compilers, but I currently don't see a
version of HasIsNullMethod that could support these
two, so the split off of Q_DECL_FINAL_CLASS is in
anticipation of that commit. If someone _does_ find
an implementation of HasIsNullMethod that works on
MSVC2005 and 2008 sealed classes, then it's a simple
matter of s/Q_DECL_FINAL_CLASS/Q_DECL_FINAL/g.
This code has been tested on GCC 4.7 (prerelease)
and GCC 4.8 (prerelease).
