Signal cleanup:

- Renamed GraphicsView signals to avoid collision with ViewBox signals that
  are wrapped in PlotWidget: sigRangeChanged => sigDeviceRangeChanged and
  sigTransformChanged => sigDeviceTransformChanged.
- All signal disconnections that catch TypeError now also catch RuntimeError
  for pyside compatibility.
