Introduce comphelper::Automation::AutomationInvokedZone

Enables finding out anywhere whether the thread is processing a call
from an Automation client. Not sure how I have managed without this
until now.

Presumably the Invocation_Impl::mbFromOLE variable in stoc can be
replaced by a call of comphelper::Automation::AutomationInvokedZone::
isActive().
