Overhaul phase 1: HwndHost

- Switched from ImageInterop to HwndHost for viewport, now the viewport runs on a separate thread instead of UI. And I have control over swapchain (creation and destruction)
- Switched from marshalling to a C++/CLI project for communication between shaderbox and the engine
- Added refcounting to several datatypes, with a custom shared_ptr (which doesn't use atomics and doesn't support weak_ptr so it doesn't need to keep track of a second counter) and in some other ways
- Rewrote several parts of engine, but will still be refactored in the future, and has several known todo's like properly support parenting of gameobjects

- Currently Shaderbox is still in prototype phase with several known quirks/bugs and limitations

Next Phase 2: UI
Start a design doc for UI, now we known using HwndHost is a viable solution.
