cppcx: Fix a crash when releasing the EventManager

We don't want to hold a copy of the event manager, but rather a reference. The 
C++/CX type is intented to be solely a wrapper to the actual type.
Furthermore, if due to C++/CX being garbage collected, holding a copy means the 
EventManagerCX destructor might be called after MediaPlayerCX's destructor, 
since it only decreases the EventManagerCX's refcount.
Calling EventManagerCX's destructor without a valid libvlc_media_player_t (ie. 
VLC::MediaPlayer being deleted) will cause undefined behavior. By storing a 
reference, we ensure we just forward the events registrations to the actual 
VLC::EventManager, and that the GC won't bite us when releasing resources.
