COM marshaling design change, isolate user/system interface registration

This CL introduces marshaling and registration logic to make different
(but binary-identical) COM interfaces for user and system respectively
to work seamlessly.

This CL also makes the changes for fully side-by-side interfaces for the
`Internal` updater interfaces in `updater_internal_idl.template`. The
non-internal updater interfaces in `updater_idl.template` will be added
in a follow-up CL.

The distinct interface IDs are suffixed with `User` and `System`
respectively. Most of the codebase uses the interface without the `User`
or `System` suffix, except the code that does the marshaling.

The interfaces with `User` and `System` suffixes have (and always need
to have) the exact same vtable and parameter layout as the interfaces
without the suffixes, which is what makes it possible for the marshaling
framework to think that it is marshaling the distinct `User` or `System`
interfaces, while the majority of the codebase thinks it is working with
the non-suffixed interfaces.

The `User` interfaces are only registered for the user case in HKCU,
while the corresponding `System` interfaces are only registered for the
system case in HKLM.

This isolates the installs from causing side-effects, and makes user and
system installs fully SxS.

Without this change, marshaling can load the typelib from `HKCU` for a
system install with UAC off, because when COM looks up registration,
entries in `HKCU` take priority over `HKLM` entries when UAC is off.

Logo Chromium

Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web.

The project's web site is https://www.chromium.org.

To check out the source code locally, don't use git clone! Instead, follow the instructions on how to get the code.

Documentation in the source is rooted in docs/README.md.

Learn how to Get Around the Chromium Source Code Directory Structure .

For historical reasons, there are some small top level directories. Now the guidance is that new top level directories are for product (e.g. Chrome, Android WebView, Ash). Even if these products have multiple executables, the code should be in subdirectories of the product.
