PyQt 6.8 regression: str -> QChar in typing stubs

[Florian Bruhin]

Hey,

Unfortunately PyQt 6.8 (or sip 6.9.0?) had a small regression I didn't
catch during the prerelease (as I wasn't running mypy against it):

Some arguments and return types that were previously annotated as str
are now wrongly annotated as QChar instead.

Example diff of PyQt6/QtCore.pyi 6.7.1 -> 6.8.0, for QUrlQuery:

    -    def setQueryDelimiters(self, valueDelimiter: str, pairDelimiter: str) -> None: ...
    +    def setQueryDelimiters(self, valueDelimiter: QChar, pairDelimiter: QChar) -> None: ...

Reproducer:

    from PyQt6.QtCore import QUrlQuery
    q = QUrlQuery()
    q.setQueryDelimiters("=", ";")

Resulting mypy output:

    error: Argument 1 to "setQueryDelimiters" of "QUrlQuery" has incompatible type "str";
    expected "QChar"  [arg-type]
        q.setQueryDelimiters("=", ";")
