Support IDragSourceHelper/IDragTargetHelper? #457

Description

@wjk

These two interfaces are used to support enhanced drag-and-drop support, including (most importantly for me) the ability to specify a custom image to be displayed under the cursor during the drag. While this can be done in C# today by using COM interop, you have to roll your own IDataObject implementation to do so, as the default Windows Forms one does not support setting arbitrary COM-based private formats into the data object, per Windows requirements. Would it be possible to update the Windows Forms DataObject class to enable this? (It would be even better if there would be higher-level code added to obviate the need to do custom COM interop to use thesee features, but I do not know what the API design for that would look like.) Thanks!
