activex: implement async events handling for JavaScript
Events that do not originate from within the ActiveX JS context (which is a COM context)
cannot cross into ActiveX/COM context. All events received from libvlc are in a different
thread context then the ActiveX/COM code. Thus from a libvlc event handler callback it is
not possible to call into the ActiveX/COM context.
To solve this issue a seperate thread is created that manages sending of all events for
the ActiveX webplugin (including events from libvlc). All events are by default routed
through the GlobalInterfaceTable (GIT) which takes care ActiveX/COM calls that cross
different thread context in the ActiveX/COM world.
