[PySide] [shiboken2] Shared pointer support

[icfwm at gmx.net]

Hi,

first of all thanks for addressing the virtual method issue. That was
quick! Also thanks for the answers provided to my other two questions.

I am still struggeling to get my application run correctly, but I assume
that this is due to learning shiboken. However, one thing is happening
quite often when using QSharedPointers with 5.14.0 (see stack trace
below). I think this happens when type conversions are not possible (I
can create this issue when calling "d.set([1])" from python where d is
an instance of a wrapped class and set is a C++ function expecting a
"const QList<QSharedPointer<A> >&" argument. Clearly, the integer 1 is
not convertable to a shared A pointer. It probably should not crash the
application, though.

Please give me a note if I should create a report with a minimal test case.

Kind Regards
Chris

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
