PyQt6: QEvent.type() returns int instead of QEvent.Type

[Florian Bruhin]

Hey,

With PyQt5:

    >>> evtype = QEvent(QEvent.Type.User).type()
    >>> evtype
    1000
    >>> type(evtype)
    <class 'PyQt5.QtCore.QEvent.Type'>

and even:

    >>> evtype = QEvent(QEvent.Type.User + 1).type()
    >>> evtype
    1001
    >>> type(evtype)
    <class 'PyQt5.QtCore.QEvent.Type'>

but with PyQt6, the type information gets lost:

    >>> evtype = QEvent(QEvent.Type.User).type()
    >>> evtype
    1000
    >>> type(evtype)
    <class 'int'>

From what I understand, it's not possible to convert arbitrary values
into an IntEnum:

    >>> QEvent.Type(QEvent.Type.User + 1)
    [...]
    ValueError: 1001 is not a valid QEvent.Type

But least for types which are part of QEvent.Type, calling .type()
should perhaps return the IntEnum value again instead of falling back to
an int without any type information? Given that IntEnum is an int
subclass, this should be a backwards-compatible change too.
