Summary: Increment reference to OVERLAPPED

Initial Comment:
It would be helpful if the reference count of
OVERLAPPED objects was incremented by each overlapped
I/O function that "posts" the object to the OS.

I'm using I/O completion ports with sockes, and if the
OVERLAPPED object is not stored somewhere, it is
deallocated even after calling WSASend or WSARecv. 
(This is my assumption based on an error message
stating the OVERLAPPED was deallocated.)

In the WSAxxx function cases, it makes sense to
approach this as if the OVERLAPPED were "referenced" by
the operating system.

I'm afraid I can't do this without making pywin32 unable to
interact with a completion-port implemented in (say) C++,
without leaking.  If you can point me at places where I
could flag this in the documentation I would appreciate it.
 I do agree they should be hashable (which I will get to
when I get a few minutes)
