Destroying the QComboxBox will, once it reaches the QWidget destructor,
close all popups, including the QComboBoxPrivateContainer, which emits
signals on behalf of the QComboBox, that is now gone.
Regression after d8e1100548.
The old-syle signal-slot syntax had the advantage of not delivering
signals to slots in derived classes after that derived class's
destructor had finished running (because we called via the virtual
qt_metacall). The new syntax made no checks, so a conversion from the
old to the new syntax may introduce crashes or other data corruptions
at runtime if the destructor had completed.
See 0e72a846d3.
We also need a QPointer for the QComboBoxPrivateContainer, as the
container may be deleted from outside QComboBox, as seen in the
tst_QGraphicsProxyWidget::bypassGraphicsProxyWidget() test, where
the QGraphicsProxyWidget proxies the QComboBoxPrivateContainer.
Pick-to: 6.7 6.6 6.5
