Disable SEH & C++ exception handling by COM for out-of-process controls

[ChangeLog][ActiveQt] Out-of-process ActiveQt controls no longer silently
discards unhandled SEH or C++ exceptions that would otherwise crash the
application. Done to make crashes visible, simplify debugging and enable
automatic crash dump generation through Windows error reporting.
