Summary: DECLARE_INTERFACE_IID_ macro

Initial Comment:
This patch adds DECLARE_INTERFACE_IID_ macro. This macro can be seen being used at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb775021%28v=vs.85%29.aspx , for example, but its purpose is never explained.
ReactOS DirectX SDK recently acquired headers that make use of this macro, and this patch is required to maintain compatibility between MinGW and ROS DX SDK.
Since GCC does not have necessary support for IIDs, DECLARE_INTERFACE_IID_ can be defined to the same value as DECLARE_INTERFACE_, simply discarding the third argument. An alternative version of this patch would do that directly by using
#define DECLARE_INTERFACE_IID_(i,b,d) DECLARE_INTERFACE(i,b)
instead of defining it to the same value as DECLARE_INTERFACE

This patch is based upon the source code taken from w32api/include/basetyps.h
