Release type descriptors before type infos, and release type
infos before objects. (This reordering shouldn't matter if
referencing counting does its usual job, but maybe it's better
to use the obvious order.)

* The old function was removed completely, people will get it from
`racket/base' anyway.
* I also removed its documentation. I thought about leaving a note in,
but if `define-ffi-definer' is the preferred style, then this should
be done when there's a way to make `define-ffi-definer' use it. (Eg,
some new #:keyword that adds a way to change the defined name.)
* Note that the function is added to `racket/private/string' and not to
`racket/string' because the latter deals only with strings, and the
new function accepts byte strings too. It might be better to start a
new `racket/regexp' module for these functions.
Add extra intitial-message lines, use "..." on a field name
to indicate that it could reasonably be hidden by default,
and refine some existing messages.
The ActiveX part of MysterX is gone. The `ffi/com' re-imeplemtnation
provides only core COM support.
The "mysssink" DLL is still needed, and its source is still
in the tree, but it is downloaded in the same way as other
pre-built DLLs. The DLL no longer needs to be registered with
regsvr32.
The prohbition against `handle-evt' on `handle-evt' is as
document and as originally intended. I'm not sure why it
was allowed.
Existing programs that use `handle-evt' incorrectly
can break. I found and fixed one incorrect use and one
questionable use in the Racket tree (which is a small
minority of the uses of `handle-evt' in the tree).
Extend `define-cstruct' to support #:property specs, which causes
the constructor and C->Racket coercsions to wrap the pointer in
a structure instance with the specified properties. Of course,
the wrapper structure has a `prop:cpointer' property so that the
wrapper can be used transparently as a C pointer.
Add missing tests and documentation for the id`->list', `list->'id,
id`->list*', and `list*->'id bindings created by `define-cstruct'.
The FFI's weak table of callback procedures (to map Racket procedures
to FFI callback objects) suffered from the classic key-in-value
problem.
