Don't delete QtCore.{pyqtSignal,pyqtSlot,pyqtProperty}

See original GitHub issue

The README says the API is PyQt5 compatible, yet the PyQt5 identifiers such as QtCore.pyqtSignal are explicitly deleted in favor of PySide’s.

PyQt5’s symbols were removed in https://github.com/spyder-ide/qtpy/pull/47 with IMHO not so great justification:

I still think that the duplicate imports are very weird and not needed

I don’t think we will have much problem switching to Signals and Slots here. There just isn’t a reason to enforce a particular style someone randomly decided upon when working to convenience the user can prove as fruitful and, in this case, so effortless.
