WinRT: added a means to display a privacy policy link via the Settings charm

This change is only relevant for Windows 8, 8.1, and RT apps, and only for those that are network-enabled.  Such apps must feature a link to a privacy policy, which must be displayed via the Windows Settings charm.  This is needed to pass Windows Store app-certification.

Using SDL_SetHint, along with SDL_HINT_WINRT_PRIVACY_POLICY_URL and optionally SDL_HINT_WINRT_PRIVACY_POLICY_LABEL, will cause SDL/WinRT to create a link inside the Windows Settings charm, as invoked from within an SDL-based app.

Network-enabled Windows Phone apps do not need to set this hint, and should provide some sort of in-app means to display their privacy policy.  Microsoft does not appear to provide an OS-integrated means for displaying such on Windows Phone.

/**
* \brief A URL to a WinRT app's privacy policy
*
* All network-enabled WinRT apps must make a privacy policy available to its
* users. On Windows 8, 8.1, and RT, Microsoft mandates that this policy be
* be available in the Windows Settings charm, as accessed from within the app.
* SDL provides code to add a URL-based link there, which can point to the app's
* privacy policy.
*
* To setup a URL to an app's privacy policy, set SDL_HINT_WINRT_PRIVACY_POLICY_URL
* before calling any SDL_Init functions. The contents of the hint should
* be a valid URL. For example, "http://www.example.com".
*
* The default value is "", which will prevent SDL from adding a privacy policy
* link to the Settings charm. This hint should only be set during app init.
*
* The label text of an app's "Privacy Policy" link may be customized via another
* hint, SDL_HINT_WINRT_PRIVACY_POLICY_LABEL.
*
* Please note that on Windows Phone, Microsoft does not provide standard UI
* for displaying a privacy policy link, and as such, SDL_HINT_WINRT_PRIVACY_POLICY_URL
* will not get used on that platform. Network-enabled phone apps should display
* their privacy policy through some other, in-app means.

/** \brief Label text for a WinRT app's privacy policy link
*
* Network-enabled WinRT apps must include a privacy policy. On Windows 8, 8.1, and RT,

* SDL provides code to add a link there, with it's label text being set via the

*
* Please note that a privacy policy's contents are not set via this hint. A separate
* hint, SDL_HINT_WINRT_PRIVACY_POLICY_URL, is used to link to the actual text of the
* policy.
*
* The contents of this hint should be encoded as a UTF8 string.
*
* The default value is "Privacy Policy". This hint should only be set during app
* initialization, preferably before any calls to SDL_Init.
