It was introduced for later use of its enhanced feature over IMFSourceReader
such as taking photo with video preview, audio/video capturing at
the same time, etc. But currently it's not our use case, and it would
be maintenance burden.

This sequence of event/data flow might happen
1) Initially we have one pending output event
1-1) Then, process the pending output data
2) No pending input event, then we should wait new pending input event
2-1) Wakeup by new pending event (but it's pending output event)
In above case, MFT will not report new pending input event
if pending output is not processed.

Add MediaFoundation AAC encoder element.
Before Windows 10, mono and stereo channels were supported audio channels
configuration by AAC encoder MFT. However, on Windows 10,
5.1 channels support was introduced.
To expose correct range of support format by this element
whatever the OS version is, this element will enumerate
all the supported format by the AAC encoder MFT
and then will configure sink/src templates while plugin init.

New video capture implementation using WinRT Media APIs for UWP app.
Due to the strict permission policy of UWP, device enumeration and
open should be done via new WinRT APIs and to get permission from users,
it will invoke permission dialog on UI.
Strictly saying, this implementation is not a part of MediaFoundation
but structurally it's very similar to MediaFoundation API.
So we can avoid some code duplication by adding this implementation
into MediaFoundation plugin.
This implementation requires UniversalApiContract version >= 6.0
which is part of Windows 10 version 1803 (Redstone 4)

The Microsoft Media Foundation (MF) is the successor of DirectShow.
This commit includes two kinds of video capture implementation,
one uses IMFSourceReader interface which is available since Windows Vista
and the other is based on IMFCaptureEngine interface which is available
since Windows 8.
Note that this new video source element cannot be used in UWP app
for now, since device activation using those APIs are not allowed by MS.
