A `BSTR` is similar to a `zend_string`; it stores the length of the
string just before the actual string, and thus the string may contain
NUL bytes. However, `php_com_olestring_to_string()` is supposed to
deal with arbitrary `OLECHAR*`s which may not be `BSTR`s, so we
introduce `php_com_bstr_to_string()` and use it for the only case where
we actually have to deal with `BSTR`s which may contain NUL bytes.
Contrary to `php_com_olestring_to_string()` we return a `zend_string`,
so we can save the re-allocation when converting to a `zval`.
We also cater to `php_com_string_to_olestring()` not being binary safe,
with basically the same fix we did for `php_com_olestring_to_string()`.
The FormatMessage API needs to LocalFree the delivered error messages.
In cases where messages are delivered in non ASCII compatible encoding,
the messages might be unreadable. This aligns the error message encoding
with the encoding settings in PHP, the focus is UTF-8 as default.

Avoid code duplication
The $Id$ keywords were used in Subversion where they can be substituted
with filename, last revision number change, last changed date, and last
user who changed it.
In Git this functionality is different and can be done with Git attribute
ident. These need to be defined manually for each file in the
.gitattributes file and are afterwards replaced with 40-character
hexadecimal blob object name which is based only on the particular file
contents.
This patch simplifies handling of $Id$ keywords by removing them since
they are not used anymore.

This enables:
- iteration of SafeArray types via foreach()
- proxying of multi-dimensional SafeArray types so that multi-dimension
array accesses work (untested!)
- Fix COM exceptions, and expose them as their own class of exception
"com_exception"
- auto typelib file import (com.typelib_file ini option)
- event sinking
- wrapper to map PHP objects to COM
- fix mapping of variant values to PHP values
# Could someone please add com_saproxy.c and com_wrapper.c to the .dsp
