In case of UWP, documentation from MS is saying that
ActivateAudioInterfaceAsync() method should be called from UI thread.
And the resulting callback might not happen until user interaction
has been made.
So we cannot wait the activation result on constructed() method.
and therefore we should return gst_wasapi2_client_new()
immediately without waiting the result if wasapi2 elements are
running on UWP application.
In addition to async operation fix, this commit includes COM object
reference counting issue around ActivateAudioInterfaceAsync() call.

We don't need to duplicate a method for HRESULT error code to string
conversion. This patch is intended to
* Remove duplicated code
* Ensure FormatMessageW (Unicode version) and avoid FormatMessageA
(ANSI version), as the ANSI format is not portable at all.
Note that if "UNICODE" is not defined, FormatMessageA will be aliased
as FormatMessage by default.

Add a new wasapi implementation mainly to support UWP application.
Basically the core logic of this plugin is almost identical to
existing wasapi plugin, but main target is Windows 10 (+ UWP).
Since this plugin uses WinRT APIs, this plugin most likely might not
work Windows 8 or lower.
Compared with existing wasapi plugin, additional features of this plugin are
* Fully compatible with both Windows 10 desktop and UWP application
* Supports automatic stream routing (auto fallback when device was removed)
* Support device level mute/volume control
But some features of existing wasapi plugin are not implemented
in this plugin yet
* Exclusive streaming mode is not supported
* Loopback feature is not implemented
* Cross-compile is not possible with current mingw toolchain
(meaning that MSVC and Windows 10 SDK are required to build this plugin)
