This PR adds the following APIs:

namespace WinRT;

public enum ClassContext : uint
{
    InProcServer,
    LocalServer
}

public class IInspectable
{
    public static T CoCreateInstance<T>(in Guid classId, in Guid interfaceId, ClassContext classContext)
        where T : class;
}

These can be used to easily create WinRT objects from out-of-proc COM servers.

For instance, for a Windows Package Manager type:

PackageManager packageManager = IInspectable.CoCreateInstance<PackageManager>(
    CLSID_PackageManager,
    IID_IPackageManager,
    ClassContext.LocalServer);

As the IID is in the metadata for types, could we reference it that way instead of needing to declare it explicitly? (Sadly not true for CLSID)
