vlc_objects: expose wrappers around vlc_object_create/delete

Alexandre Janniaux requested to merge alexandre-janniaux/vlc:vlc-object-cpp/1 into master

Expose wrappers around vlc_object_create/delete using placement new and manual call to the destructor. It ensures that C++ objects are correctly handled when creating C++ objects through vlc_object_create<>(), and that their destructors are correctly called when the (C++) object is destroyed.

A test checks that:

  • It correctly calls the constructor and destructor
  • It correctly init the object without overwritting the vlc_object

I'm still not 100% sure of how the vlc_object is not overwritten though.

Necessary for MR !4703 (merged)
