win32: add COM-specific SAFE_RELEASE to windows_utils.h
See: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd743946.aspx Microsoft example code often uses a SAFE_RELEASE macro like the one in the above link. This makes it easier to avoid errors when releasing COM interfaces. It also reduces noise in COM-heavy code. ao_wasapi.h also had a macro called SAFE_RELEASE, though unlike the version above, its SAFE_RELEASE macro accepted a second parameter which allowed it to destroy arbitrary objects other than just COM interfaces. This renames ao_wasapi's SAFE_RELEASE to SAFE_DESTROY, which should more accurately reflect what it does and prevent confusion with the Microsoft version.
