Romain Vimont 40c6d71fd9 include: add C++ wrapper for C shared resources
Add a helper to create RAII wrappers for C shared resources, which
automatically call the Hold() and Release() functions associated to the
raw pointer.

Just declare a new shared resource wrapper type:

    using InputItemPtr = vlc_shared_data_ptr_type(input_item_t,
                                                  input_item_Hold,
                                                  input_item_Release);

Then use this new type directly:

    input_item_t *ptr = /* ... */;
    InputItemPtr item(ptr);
    QString name = item->psz_name;
    InputItemPtr other = item; /* hold automatically */

README for the VLC media player
===============================

VLC is a popular libre and open source media player and multimedia engine,
used by a large number of individuals, professionals, companies and
institutions. Using open source technologies and libraries, VLC has been
ported to most computing platforms, including GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac OS X,
BSD, iOS and Android.
VLC can play most multimedia files, discs, streams, allows playback from
devices, and is able to convert to or stream in various formats.
The VideoLAN project was started at the university École Centrale Paris who
relicensed VLC under the GPLv2 license in February 2001. Since then, VLC has
been downloaded close to one billion times.
