Interesting changes in this update: - better support for `REFIID,IUnknown**` in `capture` - `LOAD_LIBRARY_SEARCH_DEFAULT_DIRS` for all SxS DLL loading - `get_self` reading from classic COM interfaces (rather than WinRT ones) - better incremental builds by ignoring stale winmd files (see microsoft/cppwinrt#1404) - some ability to mix c++17 and c++20 static libraries - better codegen for `consume` methods

This required us to switch to the `I...Protected` interfaces for some things we are _technically_ not allowed access to. We also had some `overridable` (protected!) members of our own that needed undec- oration. (cherry picked from commit 21cfbf1) Service-Card-Id: PVTI_lADOAF3p4s4AxadtzgjvNtQ Service-Version: 1.23
