d026fad3d9 added converting constructors
for QPointer. This however made converting _assignments_ ambiguous,
introducing a regression for users coming from Qt < 6.6.
This code:
QPointer<Base> base;
QPointer<Derived> derived;
base = derived;
used to convert `derived` to `Derived *` (using the implicit conversion
operator from `QPointer<Derived>` to `Derived *`), and then the
assignment operator for `QPointer<Base>` that took a `Base *`.
The introduction of the conversion constructor in 6.6 makes it possible
to convert `QPointer<Derived>` to `QPointer<Base>`, and then fall back
to the compiler-generated assignment operator for `QPointer<Base>`.
The result is that the code above is now ambiguous and stops compiling.
Fix this by adding a converting assignment operator for QPointer.
I'm only adding the const-lvalue overload because the implementation
requires going through the private QWeakPointer::assign helper. We
cannot copy-assign or move-assign the inner QWeakPointer, as those
assignments require lock()ing the QWeakPointer and that's not possible
on a QObject-tracking QWeakPointer (but cf. QTBUG-117483).
Assigning from a rvalue QPointer would mean calling assign() on
the internal QWeakPointer _and_ clear the incoming QPointer,
and that's strictly worse than the lvalue overload (where we just call
assign()).
